Jonah's Award!

Jonah and Mayor John Lewis

Jonah recently got awarded the "Student Citizen of the Month" Award for the month of September. This was a pretty big deal, since our school rotates which grade level it gives out the award to and only gives the award to a fourth grader twice in one year.

Jonah was able to go to the city's monthly board meeting, shake the Mayor's hand, get a plaque and a bag with free goodies in it. His teacher came too to support him and Jonah loved it! It was also the Mayor's birthday that day so they had cake for everyone afterwards. Jonah doesn't get a lot of attention- being the middle child and being a second born twin. He is often quiet and can get overlooked easily. His teacher noted that he was a great example to the other students- always doing his work and turning it in on time, working well in a group and being polite and respectful. She said "I wish I could clone him!" (She went on to say- "I know he's a twin....you know what I mean!").

I could tell Jonah was excited and nervous to get the award as he started acting up a little before the meeting. He has done a great job in Fourth Grade so far and we are SUPER PROUD of him! Go Jonah!
