We also had Back-to-School night and although John was out of town, I was able to make it to all three of the kids' classrooms and find a little more out about how the classes are run. I am so happy with all three of their teachers and was very excited to learn that T-K's Academic Performance Index (API) scores, as determined by the CA Department of Education, was 890! The state's achievement target is 800, and all the Title I schools (which includes T-K) far outpaced schools around the state with similar student demographics, in some cases logging API scores over or close to 900. This is an increase of 29 points in one year and very excited for the school.
Peyton is playing football for T-K this year and on Wednesday of last week he was given a game jersey with a "1" on it...the number of the Quarterback! To say he's excited would be an understatement...he's always wanted to play quarterback, and with this being his first year to play any sort of organized football, he was thrilled. He's so
Trace decided to run cross country for T-K and he was also excited to get his track uniform this week. We hope to hit some shoe sales tomorrow to stock up on running and football shoes!
We've also been playing a little golf lately. Peyton and I went out and played 9 holes a couple of weeks ago, and he also has been out with a friend of his to play a couple of times. Trace and I had a golf day this past Saturday and had a great morning of 9 holes. We live just a few minutes from a great little 9-hold par 3 course which is very handy to even go and hit a few buckets of balls in the evenings.
