Perfect Attendance

Wednesday night Lala gave us a flyer informing parents that on Friday their will be a ceremony for students who had perfect attendance for the month of December & January & Student of the Month. Instead of telling those students that they will be getting an award, they made the parents go check a list that was posted on a wall next to the Main Office. So Thursday morning, Lala & I went to check the wall & Lord & behold, my Pooka's name was on the list for Perfect Attendance.

{our conversation}



M: your name is on the list, congrats. {hug & kiss}

L: are you & Daddy coming to see me?

M: you know that I'll be there, you have to ask Daddy later

L: i want mcdonald's tomorrow cause i went to school everyday

M: you got money?

L: no, but it's Friday & you get paid

M: who told you that?

L: you, you said you get paid on Fridays & tomorrow is Friday

M: i don't get paid every Fridays, go downstairs & be with your friends

Friday morning we did the breakfast thing & then headed school. Once downstairs in the Auditorum, Lala sat with her class & I took my seat waiting to see if Vincent was going to show up. Sure enough he made it & just in time, he went over to Lala & took pictures of her & friends as well as with her teacher. After awhile the ceremony was underway, all students who name was called had to stay standing until they finish calling all names, so that everyone can give them a round of applause. It was funny because the kids in their class was shouting out their friends that recieved a certificate. Vincent kept saying "so he/she is the popular one", funny because when Lala's name was called sure enough plenty of "yeah, you go Nasifa" was being shouted. I turned to Vincent & said "guess your daughter's popluar as well" & of course he took credit for that. After they were done with Perfect Attendance, they moved on to Student of the Month.
These are students that the teacher has noticed that they have been advancing in class. After that they were a couple of performances but I only saw two because I do have to go to work.

Vincent had a little chat with Lala @ home, explaining to her that he would like to see her receive an award for Student of the Month. She said that she wanted one too & that she will be more focused on school & try not to have an attitude about schoolwork or towards friends.
We are keeping our fingers crossed & praying that she get's one before the end of the school year.

Good Luck Nasifa..
