President's Award for 5th Grade

What a morning!! We started by getting Sam up at 530 instead of 630. He was invited to join the Camber of Commerce for breakfast and an award ceremony. The 5th grade children who participated in the Christmas Parade in Punta Gorda won...my oh gosh - they got 1st Place in the Presidents award for that parade!! I'm so very PROUD of our 5th Grade students!! Here is Sam holding that TROPHY!

This was the very first year DCES signed up to participate in the Christmas Parade! And oh my gosh they WON!! It's exciting to me as a parent to see and watch Sam grow into such a wonderful young man...and to be part of something this BIG in the eyes of a 5th grader! Even, if this is the only time they win a trophy of that size, Sam had a part in it. When they were making the announcement and said the 5th graders....there was so much noise - every 5th grader there jumped out of their seat and headed towards the front of the room in honor of their school!!

Looking at the trophy picture - you will notice 2 BIG ones sitting there - they got one and the sheriff's dept got the other.

You can check out the parade pictures in the Dec 4th post~~
