Today, my mom was presented with the Teacher of the Year award at her school. The students, parents, faculty and PTA voted on who they thought was deserving of the award. A separate committee decided on who would be presented the award. My dad had been in touch with the principal of the school and she told him to keep it a surprise. Dad, Josh, Collie, Easton, Corbin and I were all at her school bright and early, 8:30 am. They were having a short assembly at 8:45 am announcing who the teacher of the year would be. They called mom's name and everyone was so excited - mom started to cry. They gave her a couple of goodie bags with treats and Real Salt Lake tickets. On May 17th at the Real game halftime, she will be on the field with the other teachers of the year from the district. Everyone will attend the game. I'm so proud of my mom and she really goes above and beyond for her kids. At the end of the assembly the principal had every student stand up that had been in mom's class and there were a lot of kids that stood up. They had a little breakfast set up for us in one of the conference rooms - it was a great morning!
That night we went to an open house for our good friend Jill Markham and Alex - they had Coldstone ice cream for their treat, and Nolan loved it!
