8th in Spelling Bee, Crayfish passes away

Posted by tom | May 30, 2009

The end of third grade has been exciting.  On Friday, Ellen placed 8th in Donegal Springs Elementary School's Third Grader Spelling Bee.  Well done!  But she came home to find out that her class crayfish had already passed away!  Ellen buried "Rachel" and moved on.  I was quite impressed.  Field day on Monday ... school ends with 1/2 day on Thursday and then we're off to 'da Burgh on Friday!

Last night Ellen, Hayley, and myself played Dutch Blitz.  The competition was quite strong while Theresa focused her attention on creating another set of burp cloths for a friend from our local congregation.  Anyone interested in helping her start a small business to help fund our ministry ;-)
