Rebecca has been doing great.

Now, in eighth grade, Rebecca is still enjoying school.

The first sport season has started and finished.  This was her school's first year to participate in cross country running.  As a middle school, their distance was two miles. (In high school, they'll run three miles.)

As it's the first year, most of the kids (including Rebecca) brought up the rear of the pack as they hadn't been doing any long distance running before the first team practice day.  But, they kept running through each race and through the season as many of us cheered and clapped even for the last runner in the race.  (When was the last time you ran two miles?)

Piano continues with Mrs. Heather Peterson as Rebecca advances to more complex music.

Later this year will be volleyball and, in the spring, the school will put on Midsummer Night Dream as part of the Shakespeare festival.
