Awards Day

Fletcher's school had their Awards Ceremony on Tuesday for K-6th grade. In assembly every morning, they've been studying who they are in Christ so the beginning part of the program was a recap of what they had learned throughout the year. I was amazed at how much scripture the kids had memorized to go along with who they are in Christ - deeply fallen, fully forgiven, eternally loved, His bride, weak yet strong, rich yet poor, His child.


Each child also got an award from his or her teacher. The award wasn't based on academic accomplishments. Instead it was based on the child's character - things like diligence, joyful attitude, servant heart and prayer warrior. It was very cool to hear the things the teacher said about each child. You could tell the teachers put alot of thought into those awards. Some of the teachers had a theme of sorts like Fletcher's teacher. She gave each of her 8 students an award based on a person in the Bible (Hannah, Jonathan, Peter, Paul, Miriam, etc) and the character traits that person in the Bible represented.


Here is Fletcher's award.



In case you can't read it, it is the "Timothy Award" for his knowledge of the Scriptures and his desire to study to show himself approved unto God. The verse she chose for him is 2 Timothy 2:15. We are so proud of him. It is sad to see this kindergarten year come to an end. He has learned so much and had such a great time. His teacher has laid an incredible foundation (and set a pretty high bar) for his education in future years.
