Delanie made it onto the WEB team at school! :) WEB = Where Everyone Belongs. It's a mentoring group made up of 9th graders that help the incoming 7th graders. To be accepted into the program, you have to pass a pretty rigorous "audition" including a history of school participation, teacher recommendations, high academic standards, etc.
Delanie was super excited to be a part of the team. When we first moved to Minnesota before her 7th grade year, she spent one-on-one time with the WEB team during new student orientation. She has looked forward to participating in the program ever since!
After she returned from her Summer visit in Texas, WEB was all she talked about. The end of that vacation officially marked the "beginning of her Freshman year" as she put it. She went through WEB training last week and this week was the actual orientation. She has been on Cloud Nine!! :)
Another first........because she wanted a little more independence, she decided to ride her bike to and from school for the WEB sessions. I have to admit I was a nervous mom but she did great! The bike ride is about 45 minutes one-way (5.8 miles to be exact) but she pulled it off. My baby is growing up!
