Student of the month

Last week Shaun and I received an invitation to attend the end of September assembly at Dharma's school. Friday we sat in the multi-purpose room with the students, teachers, and some other parents as the September awards were handed out for various things...best class in music, best class in PE, reading awards, math awards, etc. Dharma's name was called, and she earned Student of the Month. We and she were very excited. She had never won an award before and she was pleased as could be. I took this picture when she returned to her classroom. The certificate reads "Student of the Month...Dharma Gilley...for always doing her best". Dharma is a child who truly delights in school and enjoys going every day. Now we (Dharma and I) have also started a Brownie Girl Scout troop of 1st and 2nd graders at school. So far, we have 12 girls signed up and are off to a great start there for Dharma as well. What a great beginning of a new year at a new school.
