The One Where Bri is in the Record Books

 

Earlier today at school, I was talking about Bri to one of my students (who I also had in 5th grade).

 The student said, "Oh, I didn't know you had a daughter."

To which I replied, shockingly, "You had me in fifth grade and you forgot?"

She asked about Bri and I said, if you look up her name and Danvers High School, you might find a picture.

 While she was having trouble finding the name, I decided to look Bri up...and I find out something super cool. As a member of the DHS track team last year, she actually made their record book, kept by Max Preps.

In the 100 meter dash, as a junior, she ranks in the top 20 all time with her score from last year, as you can see below.

 

Even cooler was the fact that she is in the junior record book as well, with a record that will probably stick for a while.  Needless to say, I was super proud!!!
 

The One With The First Home Game

 

 

The first Danvers home game happened and it was definitely an event for us as we helped the marching band with their show. First of all, we had to arrive earlier than we ever did last year - which was made a little trickier because it was definitely a packed house.

 

Once we arrived, we realized it was the start of the second quarter, so we had some time, but not a ton, before getting to the field to help out. In the meantime, the Falcons started off strong, which at least made the game interesting, too.

When it was time to go to the field, of course, both teams took several time outs to stop the clock. That was an experience. But, 00:00 hit the clock and it was show time. Everyone sprinted. Emmie put out her field numbers. I put on the platform and microphone for drum majors. Everything was in motion.

It was quite a show. We did get a chance to hear Bri's name get called as a co captain of the guard, which was awesome...though we did not get to see her serious walk to the front (we saw that later on TV - it was phenomenally in sync). Kiff and Bri put on quite a show and we had a ton of fun.

 

Overall, a great first game!
