Tessy's Outstanding Student Award

A couple weeks ago the assistant principle at the Ninas' school called. She said they would like to honor Tessy as an Outstanding Student at the upcoming Alpine District Board Meeting at our school. We were honored! Tessy was thrilled and excited! She was counting down the days. When the day of the award finally arrived, she paused amidst her excitement and asked, "Mama, what does "outstanding" mean?"There was just one student from each grade honored. Tessy was first to be called up to stand on the "stage." Principal Brunner is at the mic calling up each student and telling a bit why he or she was selected. I need to have Tessy's teacher email me what she wrote, because I was too occupied with getting a decent picture, I don't recall what he said about Tessy.

After they read nice things about each student, they got to go up and shake the hand of each district board member seated behind them. That was so cute. She's so little!
She was presented with this nice certificate, as well as a little notebook and pen.
