Madalyn wins award!!

A few months ago Madalyn wrote a paper on why she was proud of her country. Madalyn called my dad who had served in Vietnam and asked him questions about his service and how he felt about his country. She did an excellent job on her paper. There were 350 students who wrote an essay and Madalyn took 3rd place. They gave her a check for $100. She was so excited to get the award. She did not know that the award had prize $ also. As I watched her in the assembly, I got all teary eyed feeling so proud of her and our beautiful country. Way to go Madalyn!
