Great American Award

Alyssa received a Great American award today at school.
This award was given to kids who went above the requirements of regular class room work.
Part of this work included...
3rd grade, she was to research a different country. Write a paper on it. Bring in a traditional food from the country and give a 10 minute report on the country in front of the class.
4th grade, she had to learn the all the counties and the county seat for each one. Recite "Home Means Nevada" (that's the state song) Know all the current Government officials and what office they hold. Know all the state info. such as state fossil, state bird, state tree. All that fun stuff.
5th, she had to recite the Gettysburg address. Write the Pledge, sing in front of the class the Star Spangled Banner, know all the states and capitals in ABC order, Recite by memory the preamble and know all the presidents and vice presidents in order.

Alyssa has done all of these so she was rewarded with a trophy. I am so proud of her for completing this. She needed a little coaxing at times but I know she is happy she followed through. Good job, Peanut!
