Exciting news just in!
For our small, but important act in helping our community and those around us, we have obviously touched the lives and hearts of people who have seen our movie. As a result, our class has been nominated by the American Red Cross for an award entitled, “Hometown Hero!”
That’s right! Of the 14 categories, this nationwide award by our local chapter highlights people in our community, including people who have saved the lives of others while performing their job (ie: firefighters rescuing someone from a fire), super volunteers (who spend an exorbantant amount of time giving) and even an award to an animal or pet that has saved a life! Our class falls under the category of teaming with a community organization (World Relief) to help change or save lives!
Apparently we not only had one nomination but several – so, to my special 5th grade students of 2007-08, you can now clearly see that yes, indeed, you CAN make a difference. Overall, it’s quite an honor.
Oh and I’m sure you want more details!
Since we’re nominated, once the committee meets and decides, the winner will then be awarded – but they’ve never awarded an entire class before (or kids either, for that matter). And did I mention it also means being on KREM2? Oh yes, there is that… ALOT of TV footage… then I heard something about a big sign thing at Northtown mall… and something big at school…
Maybe that’s a bit vague without much details… bahahahhh!
More exciting that way. Stay tuned!
And even if we don’t win, we already have won. And you and I both know that.
