Super Surprises!

You won’t believe what happened today! Right after recess, Ms. Sandomir and a bunch of people in black shirts came into my classroom. I was a little scared, but one of the guys had roses for me (couldn’t be all bad) and a plaque. They said they were from Office Max and they had a surprise for me if I followed them. They led me and my students to the cafeteria where there was about four classes of kids and a huge poster that said, “We (heart) Miss Sells”. They said I won an award called “A Day Made Better” that is given to teachers who “make days better.” The office staff nominated me!--- and I WON! They gave me a NEW*** teacher chair (leather!) and two huge boxes (2.5’ cubes!) of supplies for my kids. Hole punches, label makers, pencil boxes for all of my kids--- honestly--- so much I couldn’t even list it right now. They took a million pictures of me and my students and me in my new chair (heehee)! I am SO grateful. During lunch, Shannin gave me a card and a gift, and Lessita made me spinach dip and brought an ice cream cake, plus made a picture frame where people have been writing flattering traits on. Can you believe this? I am so blessed!
