Haleigh as Pocahontes Wins 2nd Place!!!

Haleigh with two friends and neighbors. Kine Miltun and Cassie Bump.

Haleigh as Pocohontes

Haleigh is always ready for a fun project or activity. This past two months it has been the speech club preparing for the schools oratorical contest. She picked her character, researched and wrote her speech and proceeded to memorize her 5 minute prepared report on Pocahontes. I did nothing but proofread her final draft. I was so impressed with her. She honestly did this all on her own with no encouragement or even support. Should I be admitting that? I think she had to ask us 500 thousand times to buy her a costume. She even got on the internet and told us which stores carried it and how much it costs. What an amazing girl we have. Am I bragging? Well she deserves it. Go Haleigh we love you and are so proud of your effort. It paid off when she recieved 2nd place out of 20 students. She qualified for the district contest next week. She has a good chance since there you have to have your speech completely memorized and she was the only one at her school that did! You go girl!

Good work Haleigh! But we always knew you were smart and "dramatic" (in a good way). Your relatives in Albuquerque are very proud of you!
