Okay on Tuesday it was awards day for the Working kids from the Co-op
and we had 4 of the 6 kids that were honored from Derrick's small
school at the awards program. WOW

I was like wow, I can't believe this. There were I think about 30 kids
all together, but I'm not postive. There are 7 schools in the co-op. And
all schools were represented and I believe that we are close if not the
smallest high school.

We are definately the most rural school. And it was so neat to see that
we had so many kids placed in jobs. It was just fantastic.

Anyway, Derrick's Boss and the nurse's couldn't come to the awards banquet.

So he chose to buy them a plaque with a nice bibical saying on it. Because
they have things with these kind of saying on them in the office.
And a Big Cookie with Spring Decorations on it. And the Job Coach's asked
him to take the certificate back to the Staff.

He was the only student asked to do this. It was kind of neat to see they
trusted him so much. We took the special things to his Clinic Boss tonight
and ate part of the cookie with her. She was so touched. Also
gave her one of his prom Pictures.

It was so neat.
