This month Olivia was chosen as a Positive Panther in her class. She got to go during lunch to have pizza with the principal. She got a certificate and got her picture taken. The reason this is significant (other than the fact that I'm so proud of her) is that both Michael and I were Positive Panthers at Galloway when we went there. Back then (I'm so old) we got our pictures in the newspaper. I don't think that's the case anymore, but I went to see her get her award and I told the principal that she was second generation. She thought that was great. I love that we still live in the same area, that our kids go to the same school as we did, and that I always run into people I know! Henderson is home!

Thanks for understanding my OB comments :) ha! You are so funny!
Way to go Olivia! The bar is now set for the rest of the kids :) No pressure :)
Becky it's fun reading about your daughter being second generation in school and receiving awards that you and Mike had. I live in a neighborhood where lots are 2nd generation too. I guess I'm the odd ball here. Everything is new for us! I miss Henderson in some ways but can't imagine being anywhere but here!
I was a Positive Panther too! GO Panthers! It is nice to have roots where you live- (except for when you run to the grocery store without make-up and you see some long lost friend and you think Dang!)
Somehow that doesn't surprise me. With that smile how could the teacher resist. Great work, Olivia
Love, Grandma Gill
