Jared came home from school on Friday, April 16th, and surprised his mother with the announcement that he had a certificate in his book bag that he received from school that day. Unbeknownst to Jared, he had been selected as Christian Citizen of the Month for March 2010 by his teacher and classmates. He found this out during the morning announcements on "Lion T.V." There is one student per class per month who is selected for this award and these students have lunch with the principal in the Ministry Center at St. Luke School, receive a certificate, and are featured on the school website.
Later that evening we, as a family, attended the Hurricanes Swimming Annual Awards Banquet. Jared received the "Jump Start" Award for the 9-10 year old boys age group for the '09/10 swim season. Coach Mike stated that approximately half way through the season Jared "just took off," and the last 3 swimmeets that he attended were his best ever.
Way to go, Jared!!!
