‘‘ Your program honoring special students in 5th grade is wonderful! Kylene tries very hard in school and yet never will probably get an academic award. The pride she felt when she won - is something I'll never forget. Her self-esteem got a much needed boost.

‘‘ My name is Jeremy and I am a fifth grade student at Indian Trail. You recently came to my school to give me an award. I am writing you to thank you for honoring me. I can't believe my mom and dad were there too and that they didn't tell me. I felt very special to be picked from all my classmates.

‘‘ Thank you so much for giving me the award, the book and the gift card to Anderson's Bookshop. I will treasure my award and book forever and keep it a safe place. Hopefully, some one great, kind and caring person will get the award, book and the gift card the next year.
