Hailey Knows About Safety
On Friday Hailey called me from school to tell me that she won a bike. I was a little confused so I asked her how. She told me that she wrote an essay about being safe and wearing a helmet and that the office ladies wanted to know if I could come pick it up. I didn’t want her to think I didn’t trust her but a bike is not the kind of prize I got in school. So I asked her to ask the ladies if I could pick it up after school just so I knew that the office was aware of this “prize”. Sure enough they said after school was fine. So we met Hailey after school to pick up her bike at the office. I still didn’t know if I could believe her, but a very nice office lady wheeled out her brand new purple princess bike. We found her teacher so that I could get the whole story. Hailey wrote an essay about being safe all by herself. She sounded out the words she didn’t know and everything. It is a very cute essay and I would love to post it but it is currently hanging on the wall at school for all too see. She is very proud. And she knows that Wally will think her bike is neat even if it has a princess on it. So thanks to the donation from Ken Garff we have a very happy first grader!!
