Blake Responsibility award

They have an assembly every few months to hand out awards to a student in each class that has characteristics of the value being highlighted.  Blake received the Responsibility Award in his First Grade Class.

This is the email I got from his teacher letting us know that he was going to receive this award:

Hi there!

I am excited to tell you that I have nominated Blake for the responsibility award!  He will be receiving his award at the character assembly next Friday, the 26th at 7:45 AM.  I hope that you will be able to attend and see him get his medal!  Please keep this a secret from Blake until the assembly - we like the students to be surprised when their name is called!

Thank you!

Update:  Later in the school year on March 26th we found in the hallway all the totem poles for the awards for the year.

Lego Creations

Brayden likes to read the free Lego Club magazines that he and Blake get in the mail, and often wants to enter the Lego building contests that are advertized.  He usually ends up building something and then forgets to submit the entry.  (Or maybe his parents aren't good about remembering to help him).  Here are some of his latest creations.
