Mountain View Spring Awards Ceremony

We all say we have award-winning sons and daughters, and Gavin is no exception.  We're so proud of him for the awards he won as a first-grader at Mountain View this year, both in the fall and in the spring.  By the end of the year, he had been recognized in nearly every one of the "specials" (art, music, PE, computer, etc.) besides attendance and outstanding academic achievement.  Gavin is highly motivated by these extrinsic awards, but I really hope that he's also learning a general love of learning.  I think he is, but I can't be sure.  I was just like him, and that's why I'm asking, I guess.  Do we love the prizes and recognition more than the pursuits for which we're being recognized?  Likely some of both, I would speculate.
