Big Congrats to Big K and C!!!!

the girls and their teams both placed first in the state science fair and will be moving on to Nationals in May! WTG girls!

They were also awarded outright 4 year scholarships to a smaller private college about an hour away from us (one that neither of them has considered going to as it's tuition runs a little more spendy there, at $18,000 per year, than the college they both really want to attend). It's a tempting offer though - so we'll see what happens now that it is an option. I'm thinking that Big K will still attend her college of choice, but you never know. There is more to a college experience than just the academics, and I have to keep reminding myself of that when I look at the bottom line :)

But, we are proud of the girls, and grateful that we have such a GREAT chemistry teacher (who is leaving for another highschool, closer to his home next year - boo hoo) who really emphasizes the importance of science and who has really helped them get their projects off the ground and be successful!

WTG girls!!!!
