Panther Pride Award

Every year at the kids school, each class gives one student the "Panther Pride" award. It is an award to a student who achieves academically, but who is also a good citizen, works hard, etc. This year McCray was chosen from his class to receive this award. We are very proud of him.

They give the awards out at an awards assembly. They went through all of the students who got this award. They forgot McCray. His teacher told the principal before the end of the program, after all of the others had sat down. So they called McCray up all by himself to be recognized, and they made him hold his trophy up. He had a huge smile on his face, and was so cute.



Afterwards, I went to his class to take a picture of him with his trophy, and he said "Mom, I finally won something!" He was so excited. It makes a Mom happy to see their kids excited about what they have accomplished.



Way to go McCray!
