C is for Citizenship

Yesterday, as soon as I picked Natalia up from school, she informed me that she was going to be getting an award today.  I tried to get information from her, but got no where.  After questioning her all the way home, she finally said:  "Mama, why don't you just ask Ms. Leach.  I just can't remember what she said."  So, I figured I would just find out today during the awards ceremony.  

So there I sat this morning.  With my camera poised and ready.  Parents lined the school's cafeteria awaiting to hear what award their bright young kindergartners had earned.  Natalia sitting proudly among all her classmates, waiting to hear her name.

Natalia's name was called for the Outstanding Citizenship award.  To be an outstanding Citizen meant that you do things to make the community around you a better place.  You are considerate of others, you are polite, you use your manners, etc.  Wow, I'm so glad she is a little different when she is not around her brothers LOL!  

Hey, maybe Dave & I are doing something right after all.
