Since Leo's school is in its inaugural year, they are still figuring out programs and events. The principal and staff are all very enthusiastic since they are paving their own way. When the principal announced there was an opportunity to earn a "badge" (a type of award), I encouraged Leo to participate. One way to earn a badge was to demonstrate how he had learned a new skill. He wasn't sure what he could do for the project, but I thought it was pretty obvious he could show how he learned saxophone this year.
He was up for it and made two videos demonstrating his saxophone skills that he submitted as part of his application.
All the kids that participated had stations set up at the Celebration of Learning. It was similar to a science fair where people could wander around and look at all the different projects.
Here's Tom at Leo's station.
Then all the kids were awarded; some went for several "badges". We were pretty startled at how poorly the Vice Principal pronounced "Mirrione" and you can hear Tom muttering on the video. Ha!
In addition to the certificate, each kid got this nifty polo shirt with the school logo. I wonder if he'll ever wear it again.
