And The Award Goes To...

Every Friday at my school, we have a Golden Book Assembly for all the grades. What this means is that all the classes come and sit in the assembly room and each teacher stands up one at a time to award Golden Books to a few students in her class who have done something special during the week. It's really a crock of shit since there is no actual Golden Book for the kids to be in, but hey. They totally eat it up so what the hell.

"So and so gets a Golden Book for really trying hard to finish all her work this week" etc. etc.

Then all the kids clap and give high-fives to the Golden Booker as she comes up to the front of the room all beaming and happy to accept her bogus certificate. As teachers, we all dread the Golden Book Assembly because it means that we have to try and find some student(s) to give the damn certificates to.


Anyways, last night during our staff Christmas dinner, one of the teachers suddenly got up with a stack of papers under her arm and proceeded to hold a Golden Book Assembly for us teachers and assistants right there in the restaurant. It was pretty hilarious!

I am now in the "Golden Book" for:

"Standing - on her two feet (no more broken bones!)"



It was my proudest moment! I would just like to say thank you to everyone who made it all possible, especially My Little Pink Bike!
