Connaught Stars

We got a call this week to tell us that Carson was to get a surprise award at the assembly on Friday.  Every month the teachers pick kids from their class to get awards for various good deeds.  Clarke & I went to the assembly.  Carson didn't notice us there and walked right past us.

Unfortunately, his teacher was away.  The substitute gave him his award and read the comments off of the back for him.

This is the first video I have tried posting here from my camera.  Hopefully my focusing ability improves with time.  I also didn't edit it prior to loading which probably would have helped!  The first 34 seconds is Carson's part.   I must also say that with the amount of time it takes to load a video we won't have very many on our blog!

Carson and the substitute (sadly, I don't know her name!)

     After the presentation the teachers pose with the students for pictures which are then hung in the hallway for all to see.
    This is what was written by his teacher: "Carson, bravo! Tu es toujours gentil et tu penses toujours aux autres.  I love how Carson is always thinking of others and helping everyone in our class.  His kindness is contagious and is helping our classroom to be a wonderful place.  Thank you, Carson!"
     Clarke was very happy that they started the assembly with the grade 1 classes so he could sneak out as soon as Carson got his award.  I was just impressed that he came as he didn't think Kindergarten celebration was worth going to!  I also hate to think how much he will hate it when we have the boys in grades 3, 5 & 6!
