Mommy was able to accompany both girls on their spring field trips. Hannah's class learned a lot at the State Capitol and the MN History Museum. While Ellen's class went back in time at Gibbs Farm near the University of MN.

AWARDS DAY!

Wayne and I were two very proud parents on Awards Day at Washburn Elementary. Both of our girls received multiple awards. We were so very proud of them. Hannah received the Principal's Award for most improvement. Ellen received the Superintendent's Award for Academic Excellence along with a Math Award for getting better than 95% on all of her math tests for the year and a participation award for Fermi Math, along with an award for "all around outstanding character." They were so excited and surprised. Both of us were there to see them stand proud. It was a great day.

The Washburn Wildcats present Our School Musical

Hannah and Ellen did a great job along with all of the other drama club students in their presentation of Our School Musical. They sang and danced and both girls had some lines to say. Ellen even had to sing a little solo.
