9th grade recognition night

Last night, Jacob and I were invited to an awards night for the 9th graders in Cam's
school. And watched proudly as Campbell received an individual award for a list
of things. (I won't list them on the blog, but ask me in person or over email and
I will happily share. I know that boy well and even I was blown away by his list.)

And then the department awards began and we were thrilled, but not surprised,

when Campbell received one of four outstanding achievement awards from the English

teachers for writing, thinking and speaking. It was a proud parent moment for sure.

As we were leaving, Cam shook the hand of the principal and thanked him for everything.
Unexpectedly, the principal pulled the three of us aside and quietly and kindly shared that
when the teachers had all gotten together to discuss the student awards that would be given
from each department, there was a bit of a fight over who got to give Cam his award. I'm positive
this happened to other students as well, but it was still such a kind and thoughtful thing for the
principal to do and we sincerely appreciated it. Have I mentioned we kind of adore him?

We love you Cam the man! Way to be who you are. We think you are amazing.
