The Sewing Mom

I’m just wondering if anyone has been involved with this, the University Interscholastic League (UIL).  I’m not sure if this is just something the Texas schools do or is it bigger than that? 

 My daughter has been asked to try out for the Ready Writing competition.  She is an awesome creative writer, so this comes as no surprise to me.  In Ready Writing, students get two topics and choose one.  Then they write an essay, letter, speech or something within a two hour time limit.  Then the entries are judged.  My daughter is very excited about this program.  She’s always loved writing stories, so I hope she gets selected to be on the team.  They will choose 3 students for each grade, 5th and 6th.  Guess we’ll just have to wait and see how it all turns out.
