And Third Place Goes to . . .

Stockton competed in the Reading Bowl competition at the University of West Georgia today. Two weeks ago, his team placed first out of our district, so they were here competing against other first and second place teams. Stockton's team placed third! They don't get to move on, but they did get a huge trophy! Stockton is more than okay with third place. He is excited to take a break from Reading Bowl. He loved it, but it is a lot of work!

Stockton did really well. Every question he answered was right except one. That one might have been a good one to challenge, because Stockton's answer was right as well, just not the answer they had down on the paper. I was so proud of him. He is so good at this!

Stockton has the best Reading Bowl coaches. They put in a ton of time to help the team be successful. For example, the team met after school until 4:30 twice this week, then on the other days they met during lunch. They have definitely made the Reading Bowl a fun, positive experience. I am going to miss this when we move to Utah!
