PRT Husky Awards Night

Each May, students are recognized by the staff at Prairie Trail Middle School for various achievements for the school year. Apparently last year we didn’t even go! Not by choice though – we didn’t have it on our calendar for some reason. I still feel terrible that we didn’t show up and that was a year ago! If you are chosen for an award, you get a letter sent home. I’m not sure where that letter went, but apparently it wasn’t in our typical stack of papers piled on our kitchen island. I love to be organized, but no matter how hard I try, I always seem to have that dreaded stack!!

This year, I was NOT going to miss the awards night, so I double checked my calendar almost daily to make sure I was on task. Honestly, it’s pretty long, hot, and boring…sort of like a graduation ceremony, so maybe I shouldn’t have been so diligent about it! Just kidding – we are proud of you Morgan and Collin! The two of you are the cutest ones in that hot and overcrowded gym and we know that both of you are very conscientious students. Morgan and the 8th grade orchestra played beautiful music on the way into the gym. I wanted so badly to stay out in the commons area to listen, but I had to guard seats in the gym with my life! Thank goodness I did, because it turned out to be standing room only.

This week I decided to send a couple of emails to Morgan’s teachers to let them know that we appreciate all they do for the students. I feel like middle school teachers do not get the recognition they deserve. Or bus drivers…right kids!? I’m always sticking up for the bus drivers 😉 Look at these really nice notes I got back about Morgan!
