Windy Weekend

This weekend was a windy one in Tracy! Everyone is fighting allergies--runny noses, itchy eyes, etc. I'm sure that many trees and fences blew down this weekend.

Saturday was the annual Whiz Kids competition in Tracy for middle school. This is a competition for language arts. The students compete in impromptu speeches, writing and spelling. We had problems getting competitors because it was also the day for the band/choir competition at Great America. But the students who did go did well. One 6th grader got 3rd in spelling. One of my 8th grade girls got 3rd in speech, and another girl got 1st in writing and 3rd in spelling.

Today my ensemble, Ashere, played at Windmill Ridge Winery here in Tracy. This winery just opened this year, and my prinicpal, Stephanie Prioste, and her husband own it. We were promoting ourselves for weddings. Several potential brides and grooms came in, so hopefully we'll get some business this summer.

Only 6 more weeks of school left!!!!
