This is something that every year, I would hear Rachel & Ben discuss that how they make right choices and all, but they never get this award. So when I received the call from their principal, Mr. Willis....I thought to myself....Finally.... after 4 yrs, straight A's, a super student, a great attitude and big kind heart toward others....my girl Rachel, "Student of the Quarter!!!!!" And she was recognized at the awards ceremony at the High School Wed. evening. Grandpa & Grandma came down and went with us. The cutest thing about it all was the day she found out was the same day they had announced their b-days at school. They get to go down to the office and pick up their b-day treat. On the way, she hears the announcement for Student of the Quarter and asked Ben, "Did I just hear that right?" He says, "Yes"...(maybe a little sarcastically) and when I asked her was he did then, she says to me, "Oh, I am not sure, he got really foggy because I almost started crying!" And that night when we tucked her into bed, Trevor & I were telling her how proud we were of her and the tears came into her eyes again! So it really did mean a lot to her!!!
Rachel's teacher, Mrs. Tucker brought her flowers to the awards ceremony with a sweet card that said, "You are a wonderful, sweet student and so deserving of this award!" She even pulled us aside and said every year when she gets to pick a student for this award she has to think about who really deserves it, but that it was such an easy decision this year....awe!!! 
She said she wants this framed in her room!

Congratulations Rachel! That is a great honor.
Your mom & dad did a good job :)
I think it should be framed & hung in your room, too.
Keep up the great work!
