Talent On Parade

This weekend we had our last dance competition of the season. It was the Talent on Parade Nationals. We did really well.

-Rasberry Barret- 3rd place overall

-Twister- 5th place overall

-The Roof is on Fire- 6th overall

-Jump- 7th overall, we also made dance-offs for this routine

*Dance- offs are when they chose the top eight high scoring routines to compete for $1000, we didn't win, but it is still a great honor!!!

Bill Riley Again!!!

As most of you know, the tap quartet that I am currently in was a Bill Riley Sprout Champ last year at the Iowa State Fair. I know that that was a huge deal and I'm sure that some of you thought that the end for us, well think again. We are back this year with a great routine and so much more energy. On Sunday we went to Fort Dodge to qualify to go to the fair again. Our song is "River Deep" by Celine Dion. This year we are competing in the Senior division. There were four other great acts. Yet, we still managed to get first place. So we will be going and competing at the fair again. By the way, just guess what our prize was. Just Guess!!! A $25 gift certificate to McDonalds and we are all sick of McD's. We think that they just want to make us fat! HA! HA! HA!

School's Out!!!

Thursday the 8th grade went to Adventureland. It was so much fun. I won three prizes. One of them was for the "guess my weight game." They guessed my weight at 105 lbs. and they were 25 pounds short. I even knew that when she told me her guess that it was goin' to be wrong. I finally went on the Silly Silo for the first time, and I went on it two times in a row. I was really sick after that too. I wanted to just go home and sleep, but I had to work so that was a bummer and then after work I had dance until almost ten. Then Friday was our last day. It was so sad. My last day at Middle School. The teachers put together this big ceremony where each teacher gave out two awards for the best students in there class. I got an award for the best math student, having A's every quarter in math, top seven art students, and an outstanding presidential award. For the presidential award I had to get a 3.5 GPA and score 90% or higher on my ITBS scores for math and English. Then our history teacher put together a slide show and I was crying it was so sad. After school I went over to a friends house for a pool party. It was so much fun. I'll post some pictures tomorrow, but I have to go get ready for a recital. Bye!
