You go girl!

I just love these stories - in this one, Colombia Middle School student Jaimee Souder wrote an essay that got her recognized in an ultra-cool way.

"The Colorado Rockies recognized Souder recently at a game at Coors Field. Souder earned a Rockies jacket and VIP tickets. Her essay will be featured in the April 2007 Colorado Rockies program."

Enough of the "dumb jock" stereotype... when sports is used to encourage academics, I see that as the best of both worlds.
