Happy Birthday to . . .

my Mom! Hope you had a great day!
We had parent teacher conferences at Jackson's new school today and learned some interesting things about this town. It's the newest town in Minnesota--was built in the 1950's during the mining boom. At it's peak population, there were eight sections of each grade--8 first grades, 8 second, etc. Now there's one section of each grade. Most Minnesota schools are built with taxpayer money, but this school was funded by the mining company. At the time it was built, it was state of the art. Now, of course, it's 50 years and and not as state of the art, but is still a very good school.
Jackson's fitting in well with his new class. He gets to have a root beer float tomorrow for complete his MCA practice math test. He must be excited as he's told me several times.
