My daughter is in grade 5 at school this year.  Not only does this mean that this is her last year in elementary school, but being in grade 5 she can participate in other activities as well.  One of the activities that she has really been looking forward to is to possibly become a peer helper.  A peer helper helps the teacher on duty, on lunch breaks and for any other things the teacher may need help with.

They only pick 24 students to help out in this matter.  Well 40 students applied to become involved so Kara was a little nervous about getting  picked.  But she came home from school yesterday really excited.  She was one of the ones picked and she started her official duties today.  I know she will really enjoy this aspect of school and it just goes to show you that if you work really hard during school and prove yourself, anything is possible.
