Natalie

Natalie started middle school! She was really excited until the last week of summer break, that's when the nerves hit!! At first she didn't like it all that well. I think that it was just the new environment that comes with middle school. She had a hard time trying to figure out how to open her combination lock on her locker, that alone was stressing her out!! After the first month she had completely adjusted to life as a fifth grader. She has 2 teachers, and takes an elective course every 9 weeks. She was student of the month/semester. She was recognized and received a certificate in front of the whole student body. Her class peers elected her as student council Representative. She has monthly meeting that she has to attend. I believe that she is the tallest 5th grader! She actually looks older than Mackenzie!! Her grades are out of this world. On the first 9 week grading period, she didn't have anything lower than a 95 on her report card. She is Very smart. She has already attended her first school dance. She thought that it was boring!!

In metro school you can not try out for any sports until you are in the 7th grade. She has already said that she is going to try out for cheer leading! Go figure!! Natalie takes dance 1 night a week, and has talked about maybe playing soccer in the spring! She a great kid, and we couldn't be more proud!
