15 April 2012


Abe achieved his goal of earning 1000 AR points with 2 months of school left.  His school honors students with 1000 AR points by engraving their names on a plaque that hangs in the school commons area.  Abe is only the 10th student to earn this award and the first 3rd grader.  The other students were all 5th graders.  His school will have to come up with a new recognition-- Abe's already set a new goal for himself of earning 1500 points.

This Saturday was the 10 mile Pear Blossom Run.  Becky has run this race several times and last fall Sofi said that she would like to run it.  She started training for the race in September, waking up early 3 times a week to run before school.  January and February were dark, cold and wet and she felt like quitting.  She stuck to it, though, and was completely prepared for Saturday.  She had a great race.  Brandan, Abe, Helen and Gibson met us at the finish line.

Great job, Abe! What a reader! Abe has actually gotten me into a few book series that I enjoyed on his recommendation. I should find out what his latest favorites are, since I seem to like the books he enjoys!

I am always impressed with people who run, since I am so lazy when it comes to running.
