Character Counts

 We received a letter in the post that announced Sydney had been chosen by a teacher to receive a citizenship award.  Every month a few students from each grade are chosen for being good examples to others.  So Mom showed up, but had forgotten to remind Sydney to stay after school... She took the bus home, Mom raced home got there before the bus and grabbed her racing back to the school.  Poor Sydney, she had no idea what was going on.  We walk in the door and the Assistant Principal yells into the microphone, "SYDNEY, come on up"!  She was horrified!  But she graciously went up on stage, after barely walking in the door and received her certificate.  We are so proud of Syd and of her example to others.
 This is what her teacher said about her:  Sydney positively contributes  to the classroom and McKnight comunity every single day.  She has an incredible attitude, treats others with respect and kindness, and genuinely wants to make school a safe and supportive place for other students.  I am lucky to have her in my 5th period.  -Ms. Threlkeld

Sydney, Grandma and Grandpa Ryan are so proud of you! Grandma got tears in her eyes when she read what happened. We love you dearly. You add so much to our lives.
