Congratulations...my child has been selected to participate in the upcoming Educational Talent Search(ETS)!

She wrote a essay on why going to Washington, D.C. could benefit her educationally and culturally, and she was selected from her school(Woodville High) in Jackson County, AL. They chose 30 children from the Jackson County School System, and don't know the exact number from Huntsville, AL.

Of course she will have to do fund-raisers to raise the $500 fee to go which this includes her boarding, meals and all activities she will be doing and it will be for a week. This will be a great opportunity for her and I am very proud of her!

She will get to see The Capitol, Washington Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, visit some college campuses, baseball game, Six Flags, and many other various activities.

Kim:  Congratulations to your daughter.  Just wanted to visit your blog... my late husband's family is all from Scottsboro.  I have 4 sisters-in-law there, several nieces and nephews, and 1 brother-in-law.  It's a beautiful area.  I hear there's a lot of new construction going on in the Huntsville/Scottsboro area.

Yes we have alot of construction going on here! Especially around the Goosepond area in Scottsboro if you are familiar with that area. I have lived here all my life, and I wouldn't want to move anywhere else! Thanks for the comment.

I don't recall the name. There is many schools in the Jackson County School system. Glad you know people from my area. Do you ever visit?

Unfortunately we don't get up there more than every couple of years.  Since we live in Panama City, most of the time the relatives all come visit us at the beach.  It's a win-win... they get to vacation at PC Beach and we get to see them.  If I get up that way, I will let you know ... it's always great to meet an Active Rain member.  Keep blogging!
