WOW, Jami!!!!
This is great. Congratulations.
How can "tweeners" enter the contest? My daughter is interested.
Great job, Jami!!! I remember Jami in the first and maybe second grades. I was a Title 1 para at the old NW School, and we had recess duty. Jami was my little "playground evangelist", always telling other little ones about Jesus. I've never forgotten that...Congrats, sweetheart!!
