Super Students

Today at the kid's award assembly at school Emily won a pretty cool award. She won an award for her outstanding performance on her state testing in the area of science. She scored in the top 10 percentile NATIONALLY. Nationally? Who knew? I was so proud and excited for her. She wanted to win an award so badly. I asked Christopher if he was surprised and he said that he wasn't because he knows that she is a mad scientist. When she got home from school she said she was going downstairs to blow something up in her lab so he may be right.

Joseph, surprisingly, won the "Great Kid" award. Who is surprised about that one. Probably not anyone. He has a pretty good reputation on the street for being a great kid. He also won three ribbons on field day. I am super proud of him because he truly tries so hard in all he does!
