Last year Cassidy had to do a report on the country where her ancestors came from. She chose to cover the paternal SCHROYER side of the family that year. This year, since we are in Washington with the HARMON side of the family, she decided to represent her maternal ancestors. IRELAND!
Cassidy worked SO hard on this "Sandwich Board". It talks about the influences of Ireland today like: St. Patrick's Day, Potatoes, and The Arts (U2, Enya, Riverdance, etc). She then memorized a speech that was a brief overview of the sandwich board. She gave this speech on Wednesday, April 20th, at 11am (just about 1 hour before mom and dad left with Brogan for a long drive to Utah). Her speech was 2 and a half minutes long. She did SUCH a good job and we are SO proud of her. I have a video of it and might post it later, but for now, we just wanted to take a minute to tell you about how amazing she is. Public speaking terrifies her, but she was so brave and she didn't say "ummm" or any of those other common fillers you hear during speeches. She spoke clearly and looked confident. SO WONDERFUL. Later that week, on Friday, she got to march in a Multi-cultural parade downtown wearing her cute little sandwich board. It was even on TV! Way to go sweet Cassidy!

Hey, I recognize that classroom. I think I might even know the cute little red-headed one (and the back of the other head in the photo). I'm so proud of her too; glad she did well.
