Testing went well! The students said it was fun and easy. Boy, does that scare me!! I'm sure they did just fine, though. Not only do I have a sweet bunch, they are also a very bright bunch. I am so proud of their diligence and positive attitudes this week. Thanks so much for getting everyone here and being on time! I know that can be a tough job sometimes!
