Send the principal and teacher a letter telling them they're up for an award and the ceremony will be away from the school; at the nearest crack house. Be there with a camera to record them at the crack house. Pay back is a bitch

That would be the best way to handle it.

Doesn't seem silly to me, although at this point I'm not sure how they can properly fix it for your daughter. That's a shame for her though.

Thank you very much. I will do. If anything it'll never happen again with the current administration.
Yeah, I wouldn't bet on it.

Tough situation for your daughter. I'd call the school and request a meeting with the principal and counselor and involve your daughter in it. I'd be pretty forgiving because shite happens, but I think exposing your daughter to that lesson that shite happens is a pretty good teaching opportunity.

Not silly at all. This mix up has given you the opportunity to teach your daughter 2 very important lessons:
1. How to handle a situation with grace and maturity (as opposed to counselor).
2. More importantly, that she should strive/achieve for the sake of her own betterment and her own personal satisfaction. The approval/recognition/outside reward/etc should not be a prime motivator, if a significant factor at all.
