Marggie, in particular, really wanted to win. She spent hours upon hours fine-tuning her submission. All that effort paid off when they announced at school late one afternoon that she had won for her grade level for the entire state of Utah.
Unfortunately, we had pulled all the kids out of school early that day - probably to do something important like get lunch as a family at JCWs (I really can't remember why). At any rate, Marggie missed the PA announcement. Amy felt bad and so we scrambled to create and print and install a banner across the entrance that she would see when she arrived at school the following day.
On the surface she seemed pretty non-chalant about the whole thing. I think she was pretty excited though. We were. Go Margs!
