Shrek Rewards

MyGirl holds the distinction of being the first in her class to get all 3 "Shrek Rewards".

It all started when her teacher Mrs. Em went away for a few days and then came back with a huge Shrek plush toy. Mrs. Em devised a rewards program wherein Shrek was the incentive. If a child was noticeably good for the day, Shrek was 'awarded' to that child for the day.

A few weeks later, Mrs. Em went away another time and came back with Puss in Boots and Donkey. Apparently, while Mrs. Em was on leave, she had seen the other stuffed characters on sale for $40. Much as she wanted to get Puss and Donkey, she had found them too expensive. She kept going back to the store and found the price going from $40 to $30 to $20. When the store brought the price down to $15, Mrs. Em decided to get both of them.

Whereas Shrek was for general things,

like not talking, getting work done,

and just being a good student,

Donkey was for putting one's hand up all the time

and Puss was for helping someone.

MyGirl got Donkey first, then Puss, then Shrek twice.

(Keep up the good work, MyGirl.)
