A LETTER FROM THE GOVERNOR

In the state of Washington, grades three through ten take a test called the Washington Assessment of Student Learning or WASL for short. Owen took the math and reading in his fourth grade class this year. I received a letter in the mail with the results of the test. The results are as followed.

Because of these awesome scores Owen received a letter signed by the Governor of Washington and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction congratulating him. The letter stated that they are very proud of him and he should be proud of himself. It said that his test scores show his parents and teachers that he is working really hard in school and learning important skills to help him become successful in the future.

I am extremely proud of Owen! He is such a smart kid!
