MPS Award

Today at Ashton's school they held an awards ceremony.  A couple of weeks ago I received a call from Ashton's teacher letting us know that he would be receiving an award and to keep it a surprise.

We sent Ashton off on the bus this morning, and then quickly got ready and went off to the school.
The assembly we attended was for grades 5, 6 & 7.

He received an "Outstanding Commitment in Science" award.  He was excited and surprised.  He went up with recipients from other classes to receive his award and was standing with everyone to get their picture taken and was thinking that he wished mom and dad were here and then noticed his dad taking a picture of him.

After school we took everyone out for dinner to celebrate.  Ashton got to select the restaurant, he picked the Cheesecake Cafe (his favorite).  Ashton got a cheesequake for dessert.  He is always determined that "this" time he'll be able to finish it in one sitting.  I think the tally is now Cheesequake 6 / Ashton 0.

We are very proud of him.
