Jordan Shines!

Jordan has been a part of the 5th Grade Children's Chorus for our school district and has loved every minute of it-- Rehearsals and Performances have been her highlights for the year. Her last Concert was this past Friday night and then she had a "FUN" day with the choir on Saturday when they met for the last time for a special recording and then played lots of games together-- like "Shoe Fly" where they flung their shoes off their feet to see which shoe went the furthest. At the performance before the last song of the night-- they introduced each child in the choir. Then-- the director honored a few students with 'awards'! Only 2 students were given the "Director's Award"-- and you guessed it-- Jordan was chosen!! Dave and I were grinning and cheering! AND on top of that--At FunDay, the students got to vote for 10 cute awards like...
Most Bubbly or Whose a Sweetheart or Teacher's Pet etc-- Well out of 100 plus kids-- Jordan was voted 3 of the 10 Awards-- The director took her aside and explained to her that she was sure popular and gave the choice to pick 1 of the 3 special awards so that the 'love' could be spread around! LOL SO, out of "sweetheart, teacher's pet, and serious and serene awards-- she chose "Sweetheart!" Needless to say, her self esteem has been boosted and she is gleaming from this experience. She wants to continue in choir and is going to audition for the 'gifted and talented' middle school here in town the last Wed. in May. I think she will benefit from going to an Academy as she will be afforded more opportunities to develop her talent. I recorded on my little point and shoot camera "The James Taylor Medley" where Jordan sang with one other girl during two parts. NOW, the 1st 2 boys (as sweet as they are) --Well, you'll see... LOL Enjoy...
