District Speech and Front Page News

This weekend we went to District Speech in Falls City. It was a looooong day. The drive was 3 hours on good roads, but there was a snowstorm that made travel a little iffy Saturday morning. It's a good thing we stayed in Nebraska City the night before. I had 5 events medal, with 2 kids qualifying for State. Lauren, a freshmen will do Persuasive, and Taylor (Cael's girlfriend and our wrestling stat keeper) will go in Serious Prose. I'm proud of all of my kids this year! One of our wrestling moms nominated Allen for an article in the local newspaper. He thought it was an article on the team, but it was actually the weekly feature of "Extraordinary Person." It's on the front page! Very exciting! Copy and paste. http://theindependent.com/articles/2009/03/02/news/local/doc49ab6e24994dd040146184.txt
