My daughter, Natalie is on the “Principal’s Honor Roll” at Franklin Middle school, which means that she is maintaining an above “B” average.

Considering the challenges Natalie has had, she had problems learning to read and she is still on an IEP,^* this is a very pleasant development.

We took her out to an Italian restaurant that she rather likes by way of reward.
