About 10 years ago or so I used volunteer at our Elementary School, mostly I would read, sometimes I would do presentations with a computer and a projector and on special occasions I would do a "Gee Whiz" session.

This is when I would spout useless but interesting facts to the kids, after hearing said facts the kids would all have to say, in unison . . . . Gee Whiz. Of course this turned into Geeeeeeeee Whiiiiiiiiiz

It's been a while but I have a few to lay on you. Don't forget, after each fact - Geee Whiiiz

1. Coca-Cola was originally green
2. The State with the highest percentage of people who walk to work: Alaska
3. The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom
   Sawyer
4. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you
   have to go until you would find the letter "A"?: One thousand
5. If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both
   front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Gee Whiz !

 

  Phyllis and Michelle took time from their busy schedule to visit Mother Superior down here in Texas.  While here, they also blessed us with their presents (bagels).  They spent most of their time eating with a side trip to the nail salon as well as shopping where they picked up some bad habits.  A good time was had by all

We just found out that Katie is also one of the top HS Jazz Bass players in the Lone Star State! In fact you could count all the kids who did better on one hand!

Lets give it up in your best Kermit yell . . . .

 

Our very own Katherine Allison has once again risen to the ranks of the best Bass (not the fish Keith) players in the great state of Texas for the second straight year!

 

This is continuing a trend started in elementary school (pictured right) where she was the best Bass player at Greenwood Forest elementary

 

Please join me in congratulating her on her wonderful accomplishment . . . but tell her she sill has to do her homework, and clean up her room and feed the dog, don't forget to mention cleaning up her stuff in the kitchen, and the car . . . . way to go Katie
