5 lbs of CHOCOLATE!!!

At Saddle Ranch Elementary, 6th graders get to go to Outdoor Ed. which is kind of like a field trip/camp that lasts for four days and three nights, and it costs $240.00per kid. At the end of the 5th grade school year, the kids have a chance to fund raise to earn money towards the field trip, and whoever sells the most earns a 5 lb chocolate bar. So Dallin set out to sell, and as the sales racked up, it motivated him to sell more. He spent hours after school, knocking doors (sounds like his Dad=), sometimes succeeding in convincing his sisters to go on the doors with him, and even one of Talie's friends went on the doors with him. On the last day, he turned in his sales and his money. He had sold enough cookie dough to pay for Outdoor Ed., and he found that he was only a couple behind the kid in first place. The school gave the kids one more night to sale, and so Dallin went out to sale the most in the fifth grade! After several more hours, he ended up with 57 sales, and with his fingers crossed, he set out for school the next morning to find out if that was enough to put him in first place . . . and it was! He won by two sales, and brought home a HUGE 5 lb. candy bar! We were proud of how hard he worked and that he set a goal, and worked at it until he accomplished it. Now the fun part, delivering and eating the goodies! Thanks for everyone's support!
