Last week we learned that Catherine had been selected as one of the classroom reps from her food class to the FCCLA board. We are so proud of her for getting involved like this, and it is exactly what we had hoped would happen when we encouraged her to take the class. We are hopeful this will be full of opportunities for her.
Thomas decided to run, and was elected, as the vice-president of the middle school student council. He mentioned last week no one was running against him so he would be it, but it became official yesterday. Hopefully all goes well, as he and the elected president do not get along. Apparently this young man is a trouble maker, and Thomas had informed us last week there was no way he would win. He did though, because according to Thomas, "Apparently everyone wants a trouble maker as their student council president." Thomas told me that this young man tried to fire him twice yesterday, but clearly doesn't have the power to do that.
And in spite of the not-so-great choices that Robert is making, we are proud of him as well. He witnessed a car accident last evening on his way to pick up Catherine from band practice. He had immediately pulled over to see if everyone was okay, and was calling me to see if he should leave or if he needed to remain at the scene. I asked some questions, and when he mentioned that one guy ran a red light I told him to stay and give a statement. The officer was grateful for the information and was impressed with Robert. I was proud of him for checking on everyone and being so responsible. These are the choices we want him to be making!
