We just got back from watching A.J. get his award!

..awesome!

 

[kimmar067]

But then I realized I get off work tomorrow at 12:30. So I'm going to pick A.J. up and he and I are going to go over to Pigeon Forge tomorrow afternoon, spend the night over there, shop Wednesday and then come home Wednesday night!

...that's sounds nice....

..awesome!

It really was nice to see him get an award like that - one that isn't geared towards Special Ed! He was the only Special Ed student!

I had decided last week to go for the day and DH was fine with it. But I "proposed" my idea to stay overnight to DH yesterday and was surprised that he was okay with it!

We're so proud of A.J.

51 students were honored. The school has 1,450 students (grades 9-12). Yes Pam, you read that right....1,450 students - one high school for the entire county!

That's how many are in my whole school!!! (and we are a small school )

Anyway, he got a very nice certificate, a school t-shirt and a gift bag full of goodies like gift certificates to McDonalds, Hardees, etc.

And they had drawn numbers before the award presentation. They called out the winners by seat numbers. A.J. went up when another number was called and I was sooooo embarrassed for him. But there was a teacher off to the side and she was giving out the gift bags and she didn't miss a beat to get him and she brought him over to the table to "help" her without too much confusion. I could tell he was embarrassed and I felt so bad for him. And then the last number that they called was his number so he did get to go back across the stage to get his gift - for real this time. He won a gift card to a local pharmacy that has a really nice gift shop!

That was a great teacher!!! Glad he got his gift after the confusion!

I went up to the teacher after the ceremony and thanked her for helping him out. She said that she was glad to do it and they all keep a special eye out for him.

Before the award ceremony we went out to dinner - the whole family. Plus, my good friend is also a teacher's aide in the Special Ed department and she went to dinner with us and then went to the ceremony with us.

It was a very nice evening!!!

Glad it was a good time!!!

....we are such saps, aren't we??

 

[tubachick]

Same here....maybe an inch in some places on our end of the county but in town they hardly got an inch.

They're calling for an inch tonight with and additional 1-3" tomorrow. The kids are hoping for a snow day tomorrow!

its snowing now, maybe about an inch or so.... but we'll never get a snow day... "school is the safest place to be"

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

....very, VERY kewl!

Yeah, especially since I just got back from my cruise last month! I told DH that I just need to go away about one day a month....it just really gives me energy. He came back with - "couldn't you just go away for the month and come back for one day! (We have a unique sense of humor in this house! )

 

[tubachick]

Actually - my day at work wasn't all that bad considering it was a Monday!

glad it was good!

 

[tubachick]

Here too! It's in the high 20's right now but with the wind chill they say it's about 5! Tomorrow's supposed to be colder!

that's like us right now too!!!

That is COOL!

That was a great teacher!!!

We are VERY lucky - the majority of the teachers here are like that!

Speaking of teachers - I can't wait for A.J. to see one of the pics that I took of him tonight. I had him pose with his brothers outside the auditorium holding his certificate and right before I snapped his picture one of the teachers - the assistant football coach - walked up behind him and put up his fingers for rabbit ears! The boys never saw him, but I snapped the picture!

Glad he got his gift after the confusion!

But I think he would have been fine even if he didn't "win" any of the prizes. He was just so happy to get an award!

Glad it was a good time!!!

Yeah, it really was!
