Proud. To Say the Least:)

Walker's principal recently called

and told us that he was choosing Walker

to be spotlighted in a new,

local publication.  South Bosque is the

first elementary to be showcased

in the magazine and out of all of his

550 students, Mr. Everett chose Walker!

 

We were beyond proud to say

the very, very least!!!!!!!!!!

 

I wrote about it in this post:

My mother called me one day last week

to let me know that as she was flipping

through a new magazine called

"Woodway Life" she came across this page:

Of course, we ran out to our mailbox to

see if one had arrived for us!!!
"Hewitt Life" indeed had come...

We were so excited:)

Students were also showcased from

the high school and the middle school.

Walker is in very good company!!!

I was in Walker's classroom a couple of

days after it came out.  A guy in his

class walked up to me with it in his hand

and asked if I had seen it.  ha!;)

I then asked him if he had brought it

for Walker to have as an extra and he said,

"No!  I brought it for Walker to sign for me!"

Sweet Jed!  I love these 4th grade boys:)

 

I love what his teacher, Mrs. Wellborn,

wrote:  "Walker is a special student

because he is wise beyond his years,

and one who shows great compassion with

kindness and consideration for

others, and the willingness to go

above and beyond what is expected

of him."  Makes this mama CRY!!!

You never know if and when

a child can change or something

can change him or her,

so we certainly celebrate

an honor like this!!!

 

Walker answered all of the questions

on his own.  I had never even heard

of the song he chose as his favorite

and of course I looked it up on YouTube

to make sure it was okay!  ha!

After he finished his questions, I added;) a

few things (like I play with my little brother &

 sister when I get home from school) but

before we sent it in and he saw my

"additions", he made me remove them! 

hee hee!  I love his answer for what

he does right before he goes to bed...

"pray" ~ and he certainly does ~

no matter what!

Sweet Boy.  Love of my Life.

 

Troy has also cracked me up over this. 

I swear he has been carrying around

the magazine everywhere and showing

it to anyone who will look. 

We are just a little;) proud

and a WHOLE lot thankful!!!!!!!!

 

Praying this verse over and over

for my two sons........

 

"May our sons increase in wisdom

and in stature and in favor

with God and man."

Luke 2:52
