Proud Moment

We got a call from the Assistant Principle yesterday and were told that Zac was one of only 22 kids in his school to achieve advanced scores on his CSAP testing from last year in all categories: Reading, Writing and Math. Also he is only 1 of 142 kids in the whole school district to achieve this! WOW! I had to say that was a proud moment. Of course we tried to play it down as we don't want two things happening. First for him to get a big head about it also to not put pressure that he has to perform that way every year. It would be great, but I only expect him to do and give his very best and if that is the result then even better. Also the school said that the local newspaper is doing an article and wanted to know if Zac's name and possibly picture could be in the paper. Of course why not! I guess every day that we send him to school he really is learning something and what is cool is that he loves to learn. I hope he is more like his dad in the learning department. Jeff is such a sponge and absorbs knowledge. Me not so much I have to work really hard to learn and remember what I learned. Also it was cool as we went to work yesterday morning Zac said are those clouds from the hurricane? Jeff said no they are coming from the mountains. I told Zac that the hurricanes are happening in the east and those clouds are coming from the west. Then Zac went on to expound on vortex's and other stuff. Wow. He is a smart kid. Did I ever know that stuff? I am sure at one time I did, but they had their weather section in second grade and now he is in fourth grade. It must be sticking!

Well that rootbeer float just showed up so I will go for now!
