Lunch with the Mayor

Okay, so I have to brag. Yesterday Kiera (along with only 5 other students from our school, one from each grade as well as the principal) got to get out of school and ride in a fire truck to the Farmington City Complex. There, they met a few students from other schools and had lunch with the Mayor of Farmington. Then they got to ride back to school in a police car. Cool, eh? Kiera was nominated by her teacher because (and I quote), "Kiera is kind to everyone, is respectful and polite to everyone, and is always willing to help others." Her teacher later emailed me and wrote, "I chose Kiera because of her kind, sensitive nature. Children are often noticed for grades and academics but I feel those who go out of their way to be kind and thoughtful to others should also be recognized. She is a wonderful little girl. You should be very proud of her." Oh, we are!
