Happy Birthday Rockwell, and other news.
Happy 8th Rockwell!
You are growing up so fast. Rockwell is doing great. He has lots of friends and loves the outdoors. Rockwell is a rising 3rd grader now. At the 2nd Grade awards ceremony, He got an ward for going 10 points beyond the required Accelerated Reading (AR) goal, and graduated with an A-B average for the year. Excellent job!
And in other news… Melinda got into GT!! (the “Gifted and Talented” program in school) Oh, we are happy about that. Her big sister would never have let her live it down had she not! 🙂
Melinda did not reach her AR goal this year.. however, she was the only one in her class to get a All A average for the year! way to go Melinda! You know we are proud of you!
Last weekend, Melinda and a friend set up a lemonade stand out front. it was almost 100 degrees out, and they maned it like troopers for 4 hours! dont know how they lasted so long.. they only had a few takers, but the people that did stop typically gave them more than a dollar for the lemonade! so they were happy. Right before Melinda was going to break down the “store” (she was the last holdout), a news crew from NBC (not where I work) came and interviewed her.. She made it on the 11pm news that night! Unfortunately we did not see it. However, we know she made it on because other people saw it and told her.
