Sus was invited by the International Baccalaureate biology teacher to help judge the freshman science fair. She had a fun morning. Some of her favorite projects were: 1) observing if earthworms respond to color, 2) seeing if snails survive freezing temperatures, 3) growing sprouts in a vacuum chamber, and 4) measuring the growth of plants exposed to different music (classical and R&B were the best).

She had a handful of lines and did them well . . . “I’ve got $242 here, George Bailey, and $242 isn’t going to break anybody!” She is cutting up in costume here with some of the girls who played in the crowd scenes. She is second from the left. Thanks to her drama teacher for the photo. Continue reading It’s A Wonderful Life
