Morning Announcements

This week, Troy’s class got chosen to do the morning announcements with the principal. Each day a few kids are chosen to lead a part of the morning routine over the intercom for the whole school. Surprisingly, Troy volunteered to lead the Warrior Code one day. I’d been practicing with him every night to make sure that he felt comfortable with the words in case he got nervous on the day.

My wife and I both showed up at the school to give him support. We huddled into the principal’s office with the parents, while he walked the kids through how the process would go. When he was sure that everyone knew what they were doing and were comfortable to proceed, he picked up the intercom, and away they went. Each kid got to recite their part, while the principal encouraged them. They all did an amazing job. We were so impressed that Troy was brave enough to do this.
