Hi! Well, we just got back from the awards ceremony at
school. Erika received
her academic letter for outstanding academic achievement. :) Now I guess
I have to buy her a jacket to sew that letter to!! In any event, we were
very proud of her! As are we, Candy! CONGRATS
Erika!
May 2006 -- Erika Prince tells us that she also scored high
on her ACT's this year!!
Erika scored in the top 5% of all High School Juniors!
We are proud of you, Erika! Congratulations!
AND .... just in!
More exciting news on the Erika front....First, she received
yet another letter today --
-- Outstanding Instrumental Band Student!
Second, she has been invited to TOUR EUROPE for 16 days next summer with
her flute! Seven countries -- and play with various symphonies in each
country! How neat is that???!!! I told her she'd better start saving her
money, since the trip will cost almost $6000! Hum, I wonder if she can
sneak a dog show in there somewhere?!!!! :) Just had to share! Candy
And the frosting on cake!
Today, Erika received yet another letter, her Athletic Letter for
Track, along

the entire show!), Reserve in Variety Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whew -- on the

Teen Leadership award for her mentoring of kids of all ages in many project

various functions, etc. The minimum is 175 points. Erika's score was 442
-- the highest EVER in the county! Proud Mom here! Thanks for letting me
share. :))
I took pictures of some awesome chickens. I'll get them to you as soon as
possible. Doesn't Amy like Cochins?? I seem to remember somebody in the
Thornapple family who really likes them. Candy
