Hawthorne's Soap Box Derby!


Chet's school had a soap box derby race! We found out that it pays to be small in stature!  Chet weighs the least in all his class so was able to be the driver of his classes soap box! Hunter, his fellow classmate was able to push their soap box the fastest so he got to be the pusher! Needless to say, these two boys were super excited!! This year, their classroom theme is 'The mates of Room 8!' Mrs. Riggs, Chet's teacher is the absolute best! She has so much love and enthusiam for teaching, and does wonderful handling her classroom and the kids!

Aargh!! Chet with one of his good friends Brian!

Hunter and Chet were super fast and did an excellent job!! They whizzed around the race car track in a stunning 21 seconds! They came in second place to a 3rd grade class with 19 seconds.  Really good I have to say for being 1st graders and only 3 seconds behind! Oo-whoo!
