South Florida Jr State Convention


A few weeks ago we traveled to Ft. Pierce to attend the ACE South Florida Jr. State Convention. Andrew entered several events including Photography, Violin String Solo, 100 yard dash, Science Engineering (he made a light bulb), Famous Speech ("The Gettysburg Address") Spelling, Power Point, Short Story Writing and Checkers. He had a wonderful time competing and making new friends.

Andrew performed "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing as a "Command Performance".

Andrew and Brother Richard have been good friends for the past 4 years and are always so glad to see each other.

South Florida Student Convention

A few weeks ago Andrew attended the South Florida Jr. State Convention in Ft Pierce. In the past, our family has tagged along with our dear friends from Community Christian Academy. This year they did not attend so Andrew went as the only student from Cornerstone Homeschool Academy! Andrew had an incredible weekend of competitions. We are very proud of all of his achievements especially being awarded 1st place for Communication and Potential Leadership (C.A.P.) This is not a specific event that students enter, but a culmination of all points earned. Each contestant is required to enter at least one event in each of these four categories: Music Performance, Speaking Performance, Writing and Art. We all had a wonderful weekend and look forward to attending again next year.

Visiting with Brother Richard. They are very special friends!
