Student of the Month


Recently Zach and I had a little date night to celebrate him. Zach has been doing well in 3rd grade and he was awarded "Student of the Month" in his class. His teacher, Mrs. McCracken, has been the greatest teacher for him! She is super positive and kind and holds him to a high standard. She turns reading into a competition, her against the students. This has helped Zach really develop a love of reading...plus, he always wants to have more minutes than her! His attitude toward school has really changed and it is coming across in everything that he does...it's so great to see him loving to learn!


As part of his award, he received a free meal from Mimi's Cafe and he and I used it on our date. It was so fun to have a little one-on-one time and even he commented on how nice it was to just be able to talk without everyone else interrupting. He was so cute and held my hand, I just wanted to eat him up! I can't believe how fast he is growing up...Good job, Zach! We're so proud of you!!!
