HSPE Week and Softball...

This week is the state mandated HSPE test (High School Proficiency Exam) for sophomores, and any juniors and/or seniors that haven't already passed the 3 sections: reading, writing and math. Today was part of the writing exam. It went well, except the day seemed to DRAG on for those of us not taking the test anyway! The test calls for a 4 hour block in the morning, so that's what we gave it. Tomorrow is the second part of the writing....kids--get lots of sleep tonight and eat a good breakfast in the morning!!

The girls softball team played in a jamboree in Othello this afternoon. We snuck in between a couple of rain clouds and didn't get wet. THAT was nice. It was cool enough without being wet and cold. Quincy was the first game and we beat them 13-0 in 2 innings. Jamboree's usually have 3 innings but we didn't have to bat the 3rd inning because of the score. Othello was the next victim, we beat them 8-1. Paxton got walked 2 times, hit once, and flew out to left field. I will post some pictures maybe tomorrow. I'm too tired tonight! Ugh!!

Found this picture a while ago.....LOVE the poppies between the grape rows. LOVE the picture!!
