A few days ago, Jake brought home an envelope addressed to me. It was a letter from the principal informing me that I was invited to an awards assembly at Jake's school, where he would be receiving a special award. Luckily, I had the day free (other than running forgotten PE shoes by another school) so I was able to attend.
This is what I saw as I sat down:
Jake standing ready to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. I smiled to myself, imagining what might have put him in this position. (Principal pleading..."Is there a Cub Scout in the house?!" Jake, bravely stepping forward...)
Patiently (and handsomely, I might add) waiting while the Principal does her spiel. How do you really spell spiel, anyway? Shouldn't it be schpeel? Spellcheck doesn't think so, and neither does dictionary.com. Oh well.
Jake receiving one of his certificates.
And in a surprise twist, Jake not only receives a certificate for high honor roll, but he is chosen for the citizenship award, as well. Way to go, Jake!!
Jake with his awesome teacher, Mrs. K. We can't say enough about her...she has been such a blessing to our family.
So, I walked Jake half way to his classroom as I headed back to my car and he says to me, "I've changed my mind...I like public school better than home school now." Well, I wonder why? Could it be, 'The Jacob Stuart Show' has something to do with it?!

Jacob Stuart,
Way to go! You make you Mom and Dad so proud. I'm sure glad you could have at least one parent there for the big event. But we both love you.
