This is pretty note-worthy and doesn't require a picture. A few weeks ago Tyler came home from school and mentioned some award he got nationally. I kinda blew it off (oops) thinking it was no big deal and that he didn't mean "nationally". At his SEP conference last night the teacher explained what it was. Tyler did an "outstanding performance" on the October 2008 Iowa test and scored in the top 10% NATIONALLY for third graders. Pretty cool. Hailey's teacher said she is the perfect student and is kind to everyone. (as usual). Her scores have all gone up as well and are above average this quarter. I will forever brag about my children whenever possible.
