Band. Choir. Drama. Art. All of these programs encourage kids to use the artistic side of their brain. They are already getting lots of academia. I have heard other people say that sports does the same.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-86802170457297359842011-04-28T14:58:08.889-04:002011-04-28T14:58:08.889-04:00Your DoodleBug is a talented beauty.

No one. <br /><br />Cindy- Thank you! You are so sweet. I have no idea about May yet.

And you had the perfect post for today's letter, with your very own Doodlebug as the star of the show! So sorry to hear about Kim. So young to have cancer, but of course I know it happens far more often than we'd like to think. It's super that her bandmates/friends are going to be honouring her memory in this way on Friday!
