My son made Student of the Month. What makes this more special to me is he is in the special needs class. It's not that I didn't think he could make it, I just didn't plan on it. Awesome!

When I was growing up, each class would have a Student of the Month. If you were lucky, you'd get it once during the entire time you went to school. Now they do multiple awards based on citizenship, academics and the like. My son was granted Student of the Month for character. That sounds about right. I'll take it!

The ceremony happened before school started and even included doughnuts for breakfast for those who attended. It didn't last long, just enough to be recognized. He got a rubber bracelet and then it was off to class with him.

I thought I'd share because I'm a proud papa.
