Karla’s update as she has been away the past couple weeks. This weekend she visited Fort Atkinson for exchange student event, had fun sleeping on the floor, she tried ice skating, did not like it after falling a few times. There was a lot of food as each exchange student brought food from their home country. She will be going to Kalahari this weekend with her host family sister’s gymnastics meet. She will be making a presentation on Brazil to a local 4H club.

 

Delaney’s finals are over, she maintained her “A’s”. Her focus lately has been on her DECA project which is a business start up proposal she has been working on since Oct. The business is based on her 4H projects using epoxy wood work as the start up business. Delaney’s father owns Judd’s woodshop which is where she gleaned information on how to set up the business. She is presenting her project at DECA state this year in Lake Geneva, nationals will be at Anaheim.

 

Lucas: his 2 finals went well in physics and pre-calculus and sounds extremely busy with his music performances.
