This just came in the mail:
To the Parents of Miss Sarah C...
Announcement of Sarah's nomination:
Dear Parent:
Your daughter, Sarah, has been nominated to attend the National Young Scholars Program (NYSP) ... Sarah was personally nominated by her teacher from among all other students.
Sarah's teacher recognized her as a student with the scholastic merit and leadership potential to attend this unique program for the nation's most exceptional 2nd and 3rd graders. Sarah will join other high-achieving students at this very special program......
I have enclosed a press release that you may distribute to your local media in order to share with your community the exciting announcement of Sarah's plans to attend the Program.
We expect to enroll an outstanding group of young high-achievers with a wide variety of backgrounds from all across the country. Sarah will benefit beyond measure from being recognized among this magnificent group of our nation's future leaders.
This comes from the National Center for Early Academic Excellence. We are very proud of Sarah. She had no idea about this nomination. I don't know how many other students from her class or school have been nominated, but she is flattered none the less. It is being held in DeKalb, IL in the summer time and they are inviting her to stay in the University dorms for the week during the program. The only downside to this is the expense, $1,870! Yep, that's right, almost two grand for this trip. The expense does not cover travel or anything extra she may need while there. It's just for the room, food and the 24-hour supervision as parents are not allowed to accompany their children. So I think she will not be attending. She is fine with that and totally understands. This is a great achievement for her and we are keeping the nomination papers in the hope chest so she can look back on this later in life, plus we are going to brag her up to the grandparents and of course on my blog! LOL Proud doesn't even begin to describe how we feel about her. WAY TO GO SARAH!

Good Job Sarah!! We are very proud of you too!
Good choice not letting her go. It is very weird that parents are not allowed to attend, let alone the cost! She is stinkin smart and will be no matter if she goes to that or not! Love you Sarah! Love All of Us!!
Way to go!
My kids wouldn't go by themselves even if it was free.
Wow! What an honor! Way to go Sarah!
And yes, I don't think I would let my kids go, even if it were free. It would be hard w/o being able to go w/them. Kinda different. She sure is smart.
Wow!!!Way to go Sarah!=)
