"Student Du Mois"

Guess who was chosen Student of the Month for February??? ...that would be Mallory Mae!!:

She thinks she's real slick and knows that the tell-tale sign of having been chosen Student of the Month is when I set out a dress for them to wear on the day of the assembly. So I threw her for a loop and set out dresses for both her and Mariah (Arissa wears her school t-shirt for School Spirit Fridays, since she's VP). It was a success----Mallory didn't think anything of it. Till she saw us in the audience. :) She was thrilled. She's patiently waited all year and now it was finally her turn. The assembly itself was a blur of excitement:

Of course there were people lined up to congratulate her:

Naturally Mallory was excited to see the small gift in our hands and she wasted no time opening it:

Just some Silly Bandz and some "bling". (I think she liked the bling even more than the Silly Bandz):

Her teacher's comments were that she is a fabulous student, a good friend, and a grrrrrreat reader. Which made a book-loving Mama so proud!!

And Daddy too:
