As you all know, Mckenzies school had an Awards Day program. The note was on her agenda, and it stated, Awards Day will be held today, (which would have been Wednesday), if your child is getting an award please arrive early to get a seat. Since I hadnt receive any other notification, I wrote a note to the teacher and asked how we would know if she would receive an award. She replied I should have received a letter. I was confused, because I hadnt received a letter, and Mckenzie was not only exceeding standards, but she also received Satisfactory for great conduct. I went up to the school and inquired about it. Not only did Mckenzie not get any awards, but they also printed the wrong day for the program. The principal gave me the same information. I explained that I was concerned because Mac made As and Bs, but did not get a letter. The principal could not explain why she wasnt getting an award. Instead of going platinum on them, I made up in my mind that the school will no longer determine whether or not my child was eligible for awards. Since we believe that education begins at home, the Lewis family had our own Awards Day program. The girls were thrilled and we were able to award them in their academics and extracurricular activities. I feel a certain way about them overlooking my child, but it was a great life lesson. When others overlook you, create your own path!
