Howdy all, I hope your summer is cranking right along in the smoothest of fashions. Ours has been fantastic so far - a bit of school work here and there, with lots of camping in the mix. There’s no better place (IMHO) than the Pacific Northwest in the summertime. The coast really is as magical as they say, and the woods are thick and inviting.

If she was going to jump, she was going to have to take a chance, which is, to act without sufficient information.

Five years ago, Alabama's math was literally the worst. On national assessments from 2019, the state was ranked last in the country for math performance. Across the state, only 22 percent of students were proficient in math — a percentage that was lower for Black and low-income students.
