I would like to share the award winning essay of Miss Madeleine Jarbeau, who is certain to have a literary career of her own one day. Miss Maddie, as we affectionately call her, is the young daughter of our nephew and niece, Jocko and Jennifer Jarbeau and sister to Jeremy and Samantha. Madeleine reminds us in her own creative way just how important it is to find some magic in every day. 

If I ruled Eldredge Castle, grades would be based on how much fun you had.

           Here is the grading system ↓
                        Report Card
                 A+ = non-stop laughing
                 B = mostly having fun
                 C = sad sometimes
                 D = bored and grouchy
                 F = always moody, sad, and bad

All good behavior would be rewarded with candy. Blow up slides would be used to exit during fire drills. As queen of Eldredge, stuffed animals and real animals would roam the school. The cafeteria will be replaced with Chik-Fil-A. The gym floor will be replaced with a giant trampoline. During music class ice cream will be served. Also, Del’s Lemonade will be served in art class. 

Last of all, Mr. Guisti’s office will be replaced with a hot tub and kids will take limos home.

I’m ready to sign up as one of her subjects!            

How about you?
