Brag Time

So as you all know, my eldest son Rand is in 6th grade this year. In Apple Valley, 6th grade is part of the middle school, so many changes have come our way. First I just have to say that Rand has done exceedingly well! I am very happy for him and very proud of him.

One of his accomplishments was just awarded him this week. All of the 6th graders in our school district (6 middle schools) had to write an essay about a grandparent or adult friend. Rand wrote an essay about my father titled "My Wacky Grandpa Silvers". 50 essays were chosen from each school and sent into the Senior Citizens something or other, and then they read and chose two from each school, one boy and one girl, to receive the "grand prize". Well, I bet you can guess where this is going, Rand won!! We had a nice ceremony on Tuesday and each of the kids got to read their essay to the group. Rand did a great job, of course, and I was very proud. I'll see if I can figure out how to upload a picture... I've never done that before. If there's no picture, you'll know that I haven't figured it out! Thanks for reading about my little boy!
