Hannah Receives an Award

We recently received a letter from Hannah's school inviting us to an awards assemble where Hannah would be presented with an award!  We were so proud already!  We weren't really sure how she would transition to a new school, new grade, new teacher, and new friends... obviously it is going well!
 Hannah's principal Mrs. Donnavin gave Hannah her award while her teacher Miss. Metzger talked a little about Hannah and why she received this award!
 She was 1 of 5 in her class that received awards today!  We are so proud of you Hannah Grace!
 Hannah is one of the most humble people we know.  She is definitely the kiddo that likes to do good things, but is completely embarrassed when someone catches her and praises her for it! She received the "Happy Helper Award" and it says she is an amazing helper and always has a great attitude when asked to do something!  Hannah's teacher complimented us on Hannah's sweet, kind, and loving personality.  She said Hannah is always one of the first to volunteer to help and is frequently caught helping those in the class that might be having trouble.  She said Hannah is especially sensitive to those who have language barriers or disabilities, specifically a little girl who is legally blind.  It warms a Mothers heart to know all of the countless hours you spend reinforcing all of the things you want your kids to soak in actually pays off!  Sometimes it is hard to recognize at home, but when someone outside of the home comes to you and describes your child behaving in the way you have been fighting so hard for, it feels really good.  I love your compassionate heart Hannah.  I love your kindness and sensitivity.  I love it that you are willing to help the "less fortunate" and not be ashamed.  Your friends are watching you Hannah... they are learning from you.  You are a leader Hannah Grace... always remember that!
