Dear Steve and Angie XXXXXX
Your daughter, GRACIE, earned a perfect score of her Standards of Learning tests (SOL) last school year.*
Blah blah blah blah special awards ceremony by school board blah blah blah blah.
Blah lots of big smart words to describe my child's genius.
Your child's advance range qualifies her to register for the Center for Talented Youth, CTY, screen at Johns Hopkins University.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah award ceremony time date and place blah blah blah

The reason I am posting this is - Gracie goes to school, she enjoys school to a point but mostly it is her time to make a fashion statement. Ha! Yes, I said Fashion Statement.
She could care less about anything else at this point. We have to stress to her the importance of her education.
Her response?
Do I have to go? That's when my show is on.
*Tests where taken at the end of May a couple of weeks before summer break.
I don't think I ever earned a perfect score on anything.
It makes me chuckle to read Gracie is so unfazed by her score. Guess they are SOL if they think she is missing her show, lol. Scary to think if she focused entirely on education.
You know, I love her sense of fashion. You taught her to accessorize and it truly is a gift.
