Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

Project day at the Elementary School

The other day we went to Ben's school and saw some of the hard work the kids have been doing on their "Expeditions" this year.  The third graders have been studying the Plateau Indians and the area in which we live.  Ben's informative poster of the "Plateau Indians and their Environment" was very detailed. 


Great job Ben!
