tonight was ninth grade recognition night at mueller park junior high.  queue caroline.  she got outstanding achievement for 4.0 (six times), high honor roll (9 times), honor roll (2 times), citizenship honor roll (3 times), national jr. honor society, yearbook, service club, honors english, ap geography, state language fair, outstanding iowa test scores in reading, president's aware for academic excellence.  whew!  i'm out of breath.  caroline is an amazing girl.  she came within a coin toss of being the outstanding yearbook student of the year. by her teacher's account it was a neck and neck race with one other student.  we said we would have voted for her.

clearly, she had a memorable academic and social experience in junior high:

isaac spent part of his day at the district math and science olympiad.  he qualified by winning several categories in his class.  he didn't bring home a medal, but had a fun afternoon.

jake and evan went to the bees game.  our friend, keith, who manages the bees, got them tickets.
