Proud Mama

Compassion
Alex was awarded the Timber Creek Colt Community medal at this month's award ceremony.
The award is given to one student in each grade level who shows the school's virtue of the month. This month, compassion. The kids focus on the virtue by incorporating it into their lessons. One of the assignments was to write their own definition of the virture.
Alex wrote, Compassion is when my little brother fell down the stairs and broke his head. I helped him feel better. He had to stay in the hospital for 3 weeks. I stayed at my Grandma and Grandpa's with their crazy dog. So, my Mom and Dad could take care of my brother.
It is interesting to hear his take on Ivan's surgery.
He had to stand on the stage next to the principal while she read his definition. His cheeks are still red. So proud of my guy.
