Today was a special day for our grandson Derek Peterson. He was awarded the Lion of the Quarter at a ceremony at his school. We are so proud of him and all his accomplishments.
The students aren't told that they won the honor prior to the ceremony. It's supposed to be a secret. When the kids come into the Media Center, all the parents and grandparents stand up and applaud them. Alan asked Derek after the ceremony if he was really surprised. Derek said, "I didn't know about it at first. After we were all called out of class and sent to a room to wait, I looked around and noticed that all the smart kids in the school were there. That's when I knew what was going on!"
Derek is a "smart kid", and we enjoyed sharing this exceptional day with him.
