Here's what our family brought in, minus one plaque.

The bright colored flowers were given to me on the last night of work. The others were given to me by some of my gymnasts at the banquet. The certificate is for E for being the most improved Level 6 gymnast. The trophy on the right was to Z for being the hardest Level 6 worker. The trophy on the left was for J for being the boy's team "Rookie of the Year". H was picked for the girl's team Leadership Award and received a plaque (not in picture). The other plaque was a coach appreciation plaque for me. Then every year, the gym presents a "Star Award" to someone who contributes a lot to the gym and exhibits great team spirit. It can go to a parent, a gymnast, or a coach. I got quite a surprise when they gave it to me this year.

Last Friday was my last night at work. Everyone surprised me with a going-away party. Each of the gymnasts made homemade cards (the best kind) to give to me. They sat me on a chair and had me read each one of them. They were so cute and sweet. I particularly liked the one that said I looked 17. :-) They also gave me the money tree in the pic above. Then we had a pizza party and ate a beautiful cake that said, "We'll Miss You Coach Kim". It was a very precious time. Lots of tears were shed.
