HI BRETT!”

Luke was in charge of the camera for most of the ceremony.  I’ll spare you the 200 blurry shots of the basketball hoops and stuff.   The woman in the red polo is Brett’s fantastic teacher, Ms. DeClue.  Other one is the school’s Vice-Principal Ms. Smith.  The boy handing out awards and shaking hands is Matthew [Principal For the Day winner], who I believe is in 2nd grade.

“We can’t go!  I didn’t learn anything yet!”

A few pictures – not the best quality since they were taken with my cellphone.  Note Brett’s campaign posters – they are everywhere!

Even though a classmate picked on them, Brett hung Lukey's posters with pride. That's my girl!

We got a fantastic report from Ms. DeClue, who clearly thinks the world of our girl – which I love.   Brett got the kindergarten version of STRAIGHT A’s.  And, for her behavior and character, she even got A+.  That’s my girl.  Are you proud?!  We are.

The Wallners were hard at work tonight making posters for Brett’s upcoming Principal of the Day election.  Even Luke has joined the campaign!

Need you ask?  Those are spaceships decorating his poster.

Daddy wins for the Most Patriotic poster, and Brett will win points from her teacher for using Patterns in hers.
