The votes are in!

At the beginning of the school year each class was asked to come up with a mascot and school colors they would suggest for their new school. So Victoria's teacher extended the task to each student as a persuasive argument writing assignment. After helping Victoria with several suggestions she chose the TIMBERWOLVES. She proceeded to get online and research what she could about TIMBERWOLVES in our area. Sure enough they are here. Her class went on to choose one idea to put in to be voted on by the entire school. Her class chose her TIMBERWOLVES. Very excited, she has been waiting for 3 weeks for the voting to be done and tallied.

Victoria and Gavin's school voted last week on the school mascot nominees. This morning they had an assembly and announced that Victoria's idea won. They are officially the Oregon Trail Primary Academy TIMBERWOLVES!!! Victoria was so excited, slightly embarrassed but excited. To top it off they also announced that she was elected Student of the Month.

I am so proud of her. She is doing so well even though attending a new school was not her choice. WOOHOO! Good job Victoria!!!
