Rockwell’s awesome science project that did not place.. Being that I was a judge, and saw what he was up against, (I did not judge 6th or 8th grade, and the other judges did not know my kids where participating.) I was really suprised Rockwell did not place. REALLY suprised. Even the Teacher was suprised… You did a great job Rockwell. You simply win some and lose some. It’s a crapshoot sometimes.

Melinda DAR

I just found this on FaceBook, I did not even know it was posted.
🙂
Melinda acknowledged in the school for her Writing. All of the schools in North Augusta competed for this.. Its not a small honor.

8th grade North Augusta Middle School student, Melinda Elser, was selected as the Martintown Road DAR Chapter winner. She will read her essay and be presented with an award on Tuesday, February 10th at Fairview Presbyterian Church at 4:00. Her essay will be entered into the state DAR competition this spring. Congratulations Melinda!

Way to Go Melinda! This does not surprise me though.. When I read it before she submitted it, I said to myself.. “hmm.. this could win”..
You make me proud!

And then, I go in and review her grades. What parent wouldn’t like to see this in their kids Math (algebra) class. How blessed can this simple dad be? Are there any limits? I know it wont last forever.. but trust me, am basking in it for the time being.
