Yep, that's what the letter said. Joshua got off the bus, opened his backpack, handed me the letter. He was so excited. I don't know anything about Student of the Month. Do they choose one from every class? Do they choose one from every grade? There are 23 students in Joshua's class and there are 36 weeks in a school year, does every child get at least one turn? And, it's only the first month of school...Did they draw names out of a hat? Is it because he took the teachers candy one day? I guess later this week all my questions will be answered when I attend the breakfast (yummmmm, cafeteria food...I remember having hot glazed donuts and apple juice for breakfast in my highschool cafeteria).

It's really not that important how many or why they are chosen. What is important is that Joshua was chosen, I am extremely proud of him and he is proud too.
