Awards Day 2009







As the school year draws to a close each Spring, the Awards Day ceremonies are being planned. This year was Alyssa's last year at Coosada Elementary- she will go into 3rd grade at the brand spankin' new Airport Road Intermediate School in August. I could not say enough great things about Coosada though- from the open door atmosphere, to the WONDERFUL teachers, and the yummy corn nuggets (my personal fave)- it has been such an outstanding 3 years. Mrs. Hurst was Alyssa's 2nd grade teacher and she was wonderful. Alyssa loved her and learned so much. Second grade was a bit of an adjustment (TESTS!!) but she did excellent! I know Mrs. Hurst prepared her for 3rd grade. The children and their families celebrated Awards Day in the classroom first with brunch (delicious!) and Mrs. Hurst gave out her individual awards. Alyssa received "Most Friendly"; she is such a sweetheart! (I am pretty sure she got some version of this award in Kindergarten and 1st Grade also!) It was great to see all of her classmates get the award that fit them. My favorite was the "Read Your Pants Off" award, given to Doniniquia! :) The more formal ceremony was held in the gym and the principals were present to pass out the awards. Alyssa was recognized for All A's and B's this year. Way to go! She made B's in reading the last 2 nine weeks. She reads excellently but has a little bit of a rough time testing on what she's read....we'll have to work a little harder next year. I was so proud of her though- she is such a great girl and very well rounded. I can't wait to see where she goes in life....as long as I can tag along for a while!

***How stinking cute was Ayden Claire sitting in the desk next to Alyssa like she was a big girl??? So funny!
