look what arrived in the mail yesterday.

nates SAT score.

do not adjust your calendar - its still 2012.

nate was part of a group of 7th graders who got the

privilege of taking the actual SATs this past january

at stony point high school along side 11th and 12th graders.

its an attempt to get kids comfortable with the test

in hopes to make them more comfortable when the

actual test time arrives down the road.

well done dude!
