A Letter from the School...

Got home from work last night and headed straight to the kitchen counter... that's where CJ usually piles the mail when he brings it in from the mailbox when he gets off work. I start going through the pile, separating the "junk mail" from the actual bills, etc. On this particular time, I come across a letter from the School District addressed to "The Parent/Guardian of Brianna Brown"... and in those few seconds before I got the letter open, I went through so many thoughts and emotions.

My first thought was that it was not time to get a report card already for the year!! Next, I started to feel dread! (Not sure if this had anything to do with a friend's story about a recent "not-very-good" visit with her son's teacher!!) I started wondering what happened that Brianna didn't tell me about... then thinking about how both of our kids know better than to get in this kind of trouble... this thought actually calmed me down a little bit and I thought I might as well just open the letter and see what it was all about...

Well, those few seconds of all those feelings and emotions were for nothing!! The letter was actually a good one!! Turns out Brianna has been selected and put in the TAG Program!! TAG stands for the Talented and Gifted mentoring program that meets weekly with certain students to provide further challenge in the areas of math and reading!! Wow, we were really amazed! And so proud of our little Brianna!! She is quite happy, also!!! Way to go, Brianna!!! Keep up the amazing work!! We love you!!
