and exhale...

remember my post about holding my breath until the TAKS scores came in? not only did i exhale a sigh of relief, but i screamed and threw my fists in the air as my principal told me the completely *awesome* news: 33 out of 35 passed!!! he then punctuated the info with this little tid-bit: it's the highest passing rate for the 1st attempt he's ever had! time for caps: WOO-HOO!!! =) i'm *so* proud of the kids!!! telling the kids the results was such a pleasure. the best reaction? one of them screamed and waved her fists in the air and hugged me so tight, i thought i might have broken a rib!!! go on, sing it: "go jonelle, it's your birthday..." hee, hee. {grinning ear to ear and doin' the dance that goes with the song}
