Cody = Student of the Month!

Cody's teacher picked him to be the September Student of the Month for his class. The SOTMs are those who best demonstrate their school motto of being respectful, responsible, life-long learners. Yay Cody!

The Students of the Month from all the classes around the school come and stand in the hallway before the Spirit Assembly (which celebrates the SOTMs), and they cheer and wave pompoms and signs as the classes all walk into the gym.  

Here's Cody waving his clapper....

Cody was nice enough to let Luke stand next to him and cheer, although he doesn't exactly look thrilled about it, does he?

Do you see how much bigger Cody is than the other First Grade SOTMs standing next to him?

Our school mascot is a tiger.

So at the Spirit Assemblies, all the kids have Tiger Paws that they wave around. Paws up!

Here's the VIP section where the SOTMs sit. Cody's in the front row, 3rd from the right. Again, he looks kind of underwhelmed about it all, don't you think?

Cody really doesn't enjoy all the attention. He's proud of himself, but he doesn't like everyone looking at him and he feels really uncomfortable about it all. Whereas Luke, if he ever is chosen for something like this, will be leading a freakin' conga line of SOTMs across the stage. LOL It never ceases to amaze me how different siblings can be! 

Cody has just been wowing us all in First Grade. Not only was he chosen as his class' first SOTM, his teacher also sent us "Tiger Mail." It's an email to parents celebrating a kiddo's accomplishments, and the teacher cc's the principal on the message. Then the principal calls the student down to the office for a more personal recognition and a little prize (a tiger pencil). 

Cody certainly is Tigerific, and we're very proud of him!
