Rain Man didn't win an Oscar

#1 Post by minimetoo26 » Mon Feb 23, 2009 10:28 am

But he DID win the Principles of American Citizenship Award for Honesty for the month. He didn't even tell us even though he got the award last week. He remembered when he was getting ready for school this morning and one of the prizes was a school water bottle and he took it out to put his binder in.

Add that to having straight A's all year so far, and I think he'll turn out okay. *fingers crossed*

Gotta love the 'I forgot to tell you about an award'.

Usually it is homework.

Awesome job Rain Man!

Hurray for Rain Man!

I do love an award winner with modesty.

Yay, RainMan!

Well done!
