Student of the Day


The phone rang yesterday and when I looked at the caller id it was from South Hills Middle School.  At first I thought it must be Devin calling to come home because he was sore from wrestling.  I was a little bit bugged because he had already missed the whole week before while we were in California and 2 days the week before that because he was sick so I didn't want him missing any more school.  When I answered the phone it was the assistant principal calling.  I was a bit worried because I thought something bad must have happened.  I was pleasantly surprised when he told me that he was calling to let me know that Devin had been chosen as student of the day.  A teacher that Devin was sure hated him had nominated him.  This is what his teacher said about him.  "You are an awesome young man with a great sense of humor.  It is a pleasure having you in my CTE class.  Thanks for always working hard, participating in class discussions and being willing to help others who may need help or additional instructions.  You are a super influence to all who have the priviledge to get to know you.  Keep up the great work." I am so proud of Devin and so glad that I am his mom!

Becca is very sad that she has never been student of the day because she is sure all of the teachers hate her, so just so everyone knows she was child of the day at our house yesterday! Yeah Becca! :)
