Man In Charge

Last week my older son received his award for reading. In his school they use the Accelerated Reader program to encourage kids to read, test them, and reward them. In his school you get awards for 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 points. If you make it that far and wish to push on, you can get to 250 points for the big prize, Principal for the Day.
It's a pretty big deal. You get announced on the televised morning announcements and then you get to hang out with the principal for almost the whole day. You go from class to class and monitor the teachers and their students and get to hang out and play computer games while the principal does real work. You get to be the center of attention for the whole day, and there's nothing that makes my son happier than that. He worked hard to have his day, and I'm proud of him.
