At the end of this school year, Eliza's Third Grade teacher, Mrs. Kelly, gave an award to each child in her class. She explained that she spent time thinking about each child before choosing what to write on their certificate. Eliza was honored with The Biggest Heart Award. The next day I talked to Mrs. Kelly at the class picnic. She told me that Eliza was awarded The Biggest Heart Award because she never said an unkind thing the entire school year. She said that Eliza is a very sweet girl who is kind to everyone and so she chose her for The Biggest Heart Award.
I told Eliza that there is nothing I would rather hear! I am proud of her for doing well in school and earning the Super Kid award from the principal. I want her to be a good student. However, I care a lot more that she is kind to others and trying to live her life as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
A couple of weeks ago, Eliza's Activity Day leader, Sister Peebles, told me that Eliza thanks her at the end of each activity, every time. I am so glad Eliza remembers to be grateful! She's a good kiddo!

I think Eliza’s teacher is a very smart lady! Eliza truly does have such a big heart- just like her mommy. :-) And, incidentally, I am a little bit jealous of you each week in Primary because I KNOW you get to teach the best class and I miss those sweet little guys so much! I mean, I still get to see them in Singing Time, but it’s just not the same.
GO ELIZA! Tell her Sister Tross is so proud of her!!!
