Valerie turns 12!!

On March 2, Valerie turned twelve on a very cold day. She had a family party with grilled steaks (Drew stood out in the chilly, windy weather), fruit salad and chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream. For gifts, she received summer clothes, cards and money. She is saving her gift money to buy a new iPod Touch.

Valerie has improved greatly at her public school studies. Her reading and writing have improved the most. Last semester she almost got on the honor roll for sixth grade. By the end of the school year she will be on the honor roll. We are very proud of all her hard work and her positive attitude.
