Congratulations, little lady. Another year is over, and officially a 3rd Grader! You won an Excellence in Reading Award and the top award of the grade, the Principal's Trust Award. You've wanted this award every year, and it was so good to finally see you get it. Every year you're disappointed, and every year I tell you to keep working hard and eventually you'd get it. Well, this year (like every year) you worked extremely hard, and this was your year. This has been a real lesson in perseverance for you, keep trying your best and eventually you'll reach your goals, no matter how small. We are so, so, so very proud of you, kid.

This was the nomination that was read when you got your award:

This student come to school every day with a love for learning and growing her brain. She is extremely helpful to her peers that need extra support and often gets pulled to other classes to help teachers as well. She is continuously striving to improve and try her best in all that she does. She models excellent leadership and the KIPP values every day.
