Edy Ridge Ambassador

 

At the end of the school year last year, Tyler mentioned that he wanted to be an Edy Ridge Ambassador.  I didn’t even know what an Ambassador does, so I had to ask him some questions.

Apparently, the school has a leadership and service program where a handful of 5th graders provide service and leadership under the direction of the principal.  Tyler wanted to be a part of this and we were excited that he had the desire.  He had to receive recommendations from some teachers at the school and then he had to write and essay on why he wanted to be an Edy Ridge Ambassador.

It was fun to listen to his reasons why he wanted to be an Ambassador.  He wanted to help and serve, and he also wanted the cool “vests” that come with the opportunity.

During the summer break, he received a letter letting him know that he was going to be an Ambassador.  He was so excited.  Then the day came where he received his vest and he was so happy.  He looks very official.

So far he has had many opportunities to serve.  His duties range from helping the Kindergarten kids get on the right bus, hold the door open during back school night, take care of the American Flag, startup all the computers in the morning, help at the Fun Run, and many other neat things.  It is fun to see him and the other Ambassadors trying to help out.  They are having so much fun.
