Congratulations to Maddie

We just found out this week that Madison has received quite an honor.  She prepared a project for Historica, an educational program that works with elementary and middle school students.  She had to choose a topic (Japanese Internment Camps in Canada during WW II), prepared a written report, and also a "creative component".  She then presented at her school, and was chosen as one of nine to go on to regional competition.  At the regional competition she was selected as one of only 12 students in BC (and only 100 in Canada) to go on a week trip to the National Fair in Ottawa. Wow!  She's pretty excited and we are very proud of her.  We have to work out some details.  It looks like she might have to make the trip without Angela or I (due to Historica's policy) but we're checking into that.  We're not sure if she should make a trip like that without a parent...but whether she goes or not, she has done an amazing job.  And we've all learned something along the way.  I've posted her creative component below so that you can get a sense of her project and how it impacted her.  Hope you enjoy!
