Portrait of a Graduate- Back to Back

This kid. To say we are proud is QUITE the understatement. ❤️

Today was the inaugural Portrait of a Graduate awards ceremony at our new school, Canyon Creek. Teachers nominated kiddos that have gone above and beyond in the month of January in one of the 5 areas defined by the Olathe School District. Kaden was recognized for Initiative & Self-direction—setting goals & working to achieve them plus deciding what to do instead of waiting to be told by someone else.

I love that our school is taking the time to recognize students in this special way and inviting us to share in their recognition. He was quite proud of himself and recognition like this goes so far in building a student’s self-esteem and confidence—especially his.

Like I said, so proud of this kiddo of ours!

Lil South wasn’t about to be outdone by his brother & so today we were back at school supporting his awesome achievements.❤️

Logan was recognized for Communication—the ability to use words, actions and behaviors to share feelings, thoughts and information.

Again, I love that our school continues to take the time to recognize students in such a special way and inviting us to share in their recognition. There were so many proud kiddos, including ours, and so many proud and supportive parents there too! Such a great way to start the day.

Super blessed we get to claim this ROCKSTAR!
