The Reading Challenge.....

Ok, so here is some more of my "catching up"...... Two weeks ago BJ received an award from the Premier of South Australia for the" Premier's Reading Challenge" that the schools hold every year.
Only 50 schools get invited to receive the award out of South Australia every year and if you are one of the schools to be picked you send two lucky students to meet the Premier and get a certificate and a bag full of books.
Murray Bridge Special School was one of the schools picked this year ( oh, and by the way Naracoorte Primary was there too) and BJ and Nicholas got to go..... We were VERY excited because this is something that won't happen very often in BJ's life and we are very proud of him.
Anyway he was really well behaved and although when the time came to meet the Premier he was more interested in the bag of books, he did a great job.......

The Premier....

Waiting in line.

Nicholas, Barry, Andy and BJ.
