Middle School Fall Event Night

Friday evening, I did my parently duty and went to the first annual SMS Fall Celebration.  Oh joy.  A couple of things of note for you grandparents:

Nim playing in the band.  (She is the left-most kid in the front row, wearing a white shirt with a bacon-colored striped shirt underneath; click on the picture to blow it up if you need to.)

And the lovely kid with her teacher-nominated science award, which she refused to hold right-side-up.  "Mom, I only got it because I was the only kid to get a 5 [the top grade] on all the tests so far."
