A couple weeks after Mason and Whitney’s award assembly, Mason was chosen as a Student of the Month. Each class chooses one or two students who demonstrate a particular trait during the month and get to go to a special breakfast one morning. Whitney was chosen last year.

Mason’s trait was courage. The other students in the class then write (or draw pictures, since this is kindergarten) about how that student shows that trait. Mason was pretty excited, and the fact that the breakfast got delayed by a snowstorm didn’t help matters much. Finally we got to go to the breakfast and see Mason receive his award.
