Dreams For My Daughter

My daughter brought home from school a copy of On Track: A Parent's Guide To student Success 1st Grade. This is a publication that lists Indiana's Academic Standards by grade level. It also has tips for parents. One of my favorite tips is "Set High Expectations!"

I have big dreams for Alexis. The picture below is part of  the Indiana Academy. It is the only public school for gifted and talented juniors and seniors in Indiana. Someday, I want Alexis to be enrolled in a school like this.
