Congratulations Ashley

Ashley was the scholar of the month for Central Elementary and was listed in the most recent edition of the Fluvanna Review. I went through the Fluvanna Review online but couldn't find the scholar of the month piece. Ironically, I was able to find the story about the squirrel that caused the grass fire last spring, but I can't find the piece that has my daughter in it. The picture in the paper was odd to say the least. Ashley, so proud of it, was showing Jon. She said, "look Jon, I'm in the newspaper," and pointed to her picture. Jon looked right at it and said, "where?" I scanned in her school picture for the year instead. It is really cute anyhow.

The Fluvanna Review did send a letter home to us informing us that Ashley was chosen scholar of the month. In that letter, they told us what they were printing. It read as follows:

"Ashley is a perfect student! She is a hard worker at all times. She is the first to volunteer help to me or any other student that may need it. She is always polite and respectful with adults and her peers. She is full of positive energy and encourages others around her. Ashley is very eager to learn throughout the day in all subjects."

It does go a little over the top and fails to mention that though she truly is a hard worker at all times at school, getting her to clean her room is the opposite. It also doesn't mention how bossy she is on occasion with her younger siblings. O.k., seriously though, we are so proud of Ashley and hope she continues to love school like she does and continues to do well at it. Like the text says, which I suspect was written by her teacher, she really is full of positive energy. I have always admired that about her. Good job Ashley. We love you and are proud of you.
