Her Head May Be Big Today

Why is Mrs. Groover's head is swelling (Steven's 5th grade teacher)? Every year, the Scott City Christian School hosts the Mid-Winter Tournament. My part in this fun filled day is simple. I am the guy that reads the questions during Pace Bowl. It is sort of a quiz bowl on a game show. It is a lot of fun.

There is simply one problem. By lunch time, my son has won three Blue ribbons. One is for Geography, one is for Bible, one is for Cup Stacking. The final (fourth) one was for pace bowl, and that was a team effort. He even made it to the third round in the spelling bee (an accomplishment for him). So in the end, I miss seeing how smart that kid is.

Rachel managed to get a Blue ribbon in Cycle Cup Stacking and Pace bowl. Rachel was the youngest and fastest in her group for Cup Stacking. The old saying, "When she is good, she is very good..." applies to her.

So I guess, I just had to brag. In the end though, Mrs. Groover deserves the big kudos. She has had experience in both homeschooling and private education. It was her 5th graders that took every Blue Ribbon available and some others as well.

There were so many Christian families that gathered today. Many were private schools, but there were many home-schoolers too. It always amazes me how many of these people come out of the woodwork. But none are blessed with Mrs. Groover.
