I Wish I Could Translate the Phrase "Strong Work" into Latin

We got a surprise phone call today from Rebecca's school explaining that there was an awards assembly taking place this evening and that if at all possible they would like for Becca to be in attendance. We were excited to learn that Becca received an award for Best Latin Student of the year (out of all the 7th and 8th graders). Latin is a required course for all 7th and 8th graders. Here is a short video clip of Becca receiving the award. She has worked extremely hard at this new school and has done very well. Many of her teachers speak highly of her and we are certainly proud of her. For her, this was an unexpected category to win an award in. She was very excited. Becca has now gone to bed. As for me, I am left alone with my blog and my downloads and no way to translate the title of this posting into Latin. Maybe tomorrow she can do it for me! She is the Latin student of the year after all.

Congratulations to her and to you! Moms should always get partial credit for the good stuff. We take the guilt for enough bad stuff.

Good grief Becca - LATIN.
That is pretty amazing. You will have to go to
the Vatican someday - where I think they still speak it.
You will be a hit.
