A Special Lunch With A Good Citizen

As you know, today was Columbus Day. Ron had the day off and Will had school, so I thought it would be nice if I could go have lunch with Will. I had carpool this morning so I thought I would walk Will in and make sure it would not be interfering with the days activities if I were to come have lunch. When we got to his class, Ms. Lewis told me that Will had earned the Good Citizen award and would be on the schools TV news broadcast if I would like to stay. Will had no idea he had earned this award and it was just awesome that I was there to share it with him! He got his ribbon and button, went down to the media center and they showed him along with all the other Good Citizens (each classroom has a GC each week). When they announced Will, all the children in his class cheered! It was so cute! So, anyway, I left and came back for lunch with him. Brought him McDonalds and we sat back in the parent room and had a nice lunch. It was so nice to just be with him and talk about his day! He is so proud to be the Good Citizen! Ms. Lewis told me that he has been working so hard to earn this. She has really noticed his behavior. He talks about it at home all the time and we have been talking about what makes a good citizen so I guess all the talk made a difference! He was really excited when he got home to tell me that his table earned the most marbles today (this has never happened) and they got to have M&M's at the end of the day! What a great day for our little Will!!
