Proud Porter Parent!


Abby getting her award from the Principle for Fairness!

Abby at the breakfast

Abby and I --she was tired of the pictures-can you tell? (you could only bring one guest for the breakfast so Greg stayed with Reese and they had their own special date with some doughnuts;) -Reese told me he had 5 --4 tiny ones and 1 normal one--crazy boy! Don't worry Grandma-- he ate healthy yesterday and the rest the day today. :)


Ok so actually it's called Proud Porter Panther but I thought it only fitting to change the name because we are so proud of Abby:)
At Abigail's school every six weeks they focus on a virtue and this 6 weeks was fairness. After the six weeks are up each teacher nominates one kid from their respective class that exemplifies that virtue and Ms. Thomson picked Abby!
This morning before school they had a special breakfast honoring the students and gave each of them an award for being so fair;)
When they called Abby's name to come up and stand next to the principle she was VERY nervous (as you can see in the pictures) but you could tell she was proud....as was I standing there taking too many pictures-as Abby put it;)
For the award the teacher made an acrostic of her name that went like this:

Always sets a good example
Believes the best about everyone
Brings a smile to everyone's face
You show fairness to everyone

It was so great watching Abby's face as the teacher read this aloud....it was evident that it meant the world to her!
Yay for Abby our Proud Porter Panther!
