dry-flyOur daughters 5th grade project
Our ten year old daughter has been hard at work tonight on a diorama outlining the Battle at Lexington. When I picked her up today she started telling me about it… made me quite proud! My family pays a hefty sum so she can attend a private Christian school here near us and it’s a *wonderful* school. Sophie is known among some as the “gun dealers daughter”, lol. Fort Worth Christian typically has a 100% college acceptance rate for those that stay till high school. We’re blessed to be able to send her there, especially so today.

Rey HRHThat's a whole lot better than having an ingrate who don't appreciate the investment you're making in them.
You're getting great returns and may you continue to do so.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I would but she had to turn it in today. I’ll try and update when she gets it back.
Thanks for asking!

patwGood for both of you. I remember when my kids had teachers/classes that cared about actually teaching and the projects we did together made us closer and gave them insight to history.
