handing down the good stuff

The grandkids take after me, well maybe except for the band geek (just like grandpa Buddy), and maybe the getting in trouble stuff…

But all the good stuff - like awards - all comes from me!

Awards were handed out last week, this about sums it up:


Sarah - 7th grade - honor roll, excellence in Science and Health, and of course the aforementioned Best Trombone Player in the 7th grade.

Kyle - 6th grade - Excellence in Literacy and AR (accelerated reader)

Madison - 4th grade - Honor roll, top Girl Scout cookie seller in her troop

Since school starts back in a mere 10 weeks, anticipation will soon begin for next year, in fact Madison was already heard saying, "I can't wait 'til open house!"

Things to look forward to next school year:

Sarah will be in the oldest class at middle school, one of the top dogs, upperclassmen.

Madison will be in the oldest class at elementary school, another one of the top dogs, etc. Our local elementary school provides many opportunities for the students to participate and interact. The 5th grade class traditionally helps out around the school, in the kindergarten, in the lunchroom.

Madison is already signed up to be the Newscaster for the second 9 weeks on the morning school TV news - lookout Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, and our favorite Robin Meade on CNN.
