Alamo Eagles

Today Brevin was honored for being the Citizen of the Month. His teacher sent me an email to let me know when to head on down to the assembly this afternoon. I have never been to an Alamo Eagles assembly before. Woa! Talk about School Spirit.

First of all, the entire primary grades stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by 'This Land is Your Land'. This NEVER would've happened at our ultra liberal school in Davis. When we first moved to Vacaville, Brevin didn't even know what the Pledge of Allegiance was because he never had to say it in school. Sad, sad, sad. Well, he's making up for it now.

Then they have the student council members give the announcements. One boy in the student council is a friend of ours. Brevin looks up to him so much. So nice to have great role models.

Then they announced all of the Student of the Week students. Two from each class, each week! Wow! Then they announced the Student of the Month. One from each class, and a lunch with the Principal! Then they announced how many students had perfect attendance for the month. All of those students are then put into a drawing for a $10 escrip card of their choice in the office. One student from each grade is chosen. Finally, they put all of the names of perfect attendance back in the pot for the winner of an ipod! I don't even have an ipod yet!!! A first grader won! The whole primary student body cheered and clapped and gave each student who received any award a high five as they made it to the front of the MPR.

I love this school. It was also nice to win a basket at the annual Fall Festival! Alamo---EAGLES!!!
