We interrupt this blog for some intensive and focused bragging on my daughter, who’s been having a bang-up year so far, as evinced by the following:
1) She made honor roll this term, for the first time in her whole elementary school career.
2) She achieved a “self manager” badge, which is actually surprisingly hard to get and keep. A “self manager” badge gives the kid who earns it lots of special privileges, including an end-of-the-year party. Again, this is a goal she’s been trying for since first grade, and I’m really proud she’s finally made it.
3) She got a t-shirt made with her art on it! My daughter’s class had this design competition, to create the t-shirts that the 6th graders will wear while working with local Head Start kids. And out of many, many entries, my daughter’s design won. So her design will appear on shirts worn by almost 100 Oregon City 6th graders.
You can see her design up there to the left. I think it’s pretty dang cute. It has kind of “Precious Moments” meets “Ziggy” vibe to it, what with the big bulbous feets poking out from under the book.
As you can tell, I am a very proud momma. Today there is a ceremony for the kids who made “self-manager.” I’ll be in the front row!

That’s fantastic! Love the t-shirt. Props to Ms. N.
Congratulations to Ms. N! Yaaaay!
that is really cool!
You should be proud! Yay N-!
Congrats to maman MK’s daughter!
She’s got a number of rather impressive role models if you ask me…
When you come home for Thanksgiving, you have to ask her about the big report she wrote on “A Person I Admire”. Guess who she chose? Hint: A certain “striking” woman in our family, NOT me and NOT grandma.
I’ll make sure I get a copy to show you.
and hey, let me know if I can get one of those t-shirts. i wear a men’s small/medium.
Yeah for kids!!!
Wow, the design is really quite good.
I’m so happy for her! I remember winning a drawing contest as a child. Even though the school got to keep the little prize, it was still there in the classroom when I came back years later. It’s one of those things you always remember with a little thrill. I hope she gets to have one of the T-shirts as a keepsake.
Yes, she gets to keep one of the t-shirts. I’m hoping I can get ahold of a couple more as well!
