Eagle Awards Assembly

We were so proud of Shelby when he was honored at the first of the school year Eagle Awards Assembly!  He looked so handsome, too.  He's very big on his own style and picking out his own outfit.  He wanted to go Texas Cowboy theme with his jeans in his boots so everyone could see his boots from Tehya.  And then he wanted a mohawk hairdo.  LOL...go figure.  Cali meets Texas combo.
This is Principal Lembo's first year at Joe Michell and though I didn't know the former principal, Ms. Lembo is great!  She's highly involved and never anything but smiling and friendly.  And speaking of great, Ms. B, Shelby's teacher is tremendous!  We are spoiled rotten with Bobbi Byrnes.  She is a parent's dream in every way.  She's tough on the problem for sure (which we appreciate) but not tough on the kid themselves.  And her constant communication with parents is amazing.  I get emails back at 10pm on a Saturday night sometimes!  And the best part...Shelby just adores her!
Shelby's award was the first of 5 per class.
E - Enthusiastic Student!  Shelby is so eager to learn and willing to please Ms. B.
He absolutely LOVES school!  One Friday night he said he was sad it was the weekend, because he wouldn't get to see Ms. B.  He corrected quickly saying maybe he wasn't really sad, because he really liked the weekends and time with Mom and Dad, but wished he could see Ms. B for just a little bit.  :-)  Talk about knowing your child is so well cared for during the day!


The other awards after E - Enthusiastic Student were A - Awesome Mathematician, G - Good Responsible Student, L - Listening Expert, E - Exceptional Reader
I couldn't help but notice that girls in every grade dominated the L - Listening Expert award.  HAHAHA....and it never gets any better, guys.

 And there she is....the #2 woman in Shelby's life. ;-)
Way to go, Shelby!  We're sooo proud of your achievement, Baby!!!!!!!
