National Science Olympiad

You may have noticed that my blog was not very active during the month of May. That is because at the end of May my son competed in the National Science Olympiad for his middle school. The competition was held at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, so it was a great experience for all of the students. He participated in 4 events finishing 15th and 16th in the nation in two of them and 6th in the nation in Dynamic Planet and 8th in the nation in Food Science (the subject which we taught.) Needless to say we were very busy and very proud.

Gordon Parks Fifth Grade Graduation

Gordon Parks Elementary School graduated another fifth grade class this week. It was another great year for the kids. It is wonderful to see the progress they make. All of the students are so pleasant and polite it is fun to be around them. Just before graduation the fifth grade class made a trip to Washington, D. C. This school is making a big difference in a lot of lives.

We Are Now In Full Production at Gordon Parks Elementary School

We have just completed our first batches of cookies that we are now baking at Gordon Parks Elementary School. We baked Pecan Crisps, Gooey Butter Squares, and Marner's Biscotti. They turned out great and we gave the first batch to the teachers and staff. They loved them.

With orders for cookies way up this year over last, this gives us a way to greatly increase production.
