She's a Star Student!

We are so proud of Ellie!  She was selected as one of Martin School's monthly STAR STUDENTS!!  It's a huge deal for the children and Ellie was thrilled to be selected.  The Star Students of the Month were honored at with reception in the school library last week.  Parents were invited and the children received a special tee shirt. 
Principal Hobbs (or Aunt Danita, as we know her!) introduced each Star and read a little description from their teacher.

Here's what Mrs. Cox had to say about Ellie
:
Ellie is the sunshine in my day.  She comes in every morning with a smile and a willingness to learn.
Ellie is. . .
E -- Everything a teacher wants
L -- Lovely
L -- Likable
I -- Intelligent
E -- Exceptional
. . . and not to mention she is cute as a button!  I love you Ellie.  Love, Mrs. Cox

Mrs. Cox said such kind things about Ellie.  It made us just about cry.
