Lunch Box Quotes - The Cognitive Warrior Project

Both Number 2 and 3 wrapped up their regular season last night on a high note and are both playoff-bound! The Varsity boys finish the season 17-4 overall, 12-2, and second place in conference play. Not too shabby. Now it is wait and see to find out how the bracket shakes out. Number 2 played well, earning GB King for the first time this season! The Varsity girls finished their season 13-4 overall, 11-2, and also in second place in the conference! I could not be more proud of the work Number 3 has put in this year. As a freshman, she earned her spot and looked and played like she belonged. Just like the boys, it is wait and see for the next game.

As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, and 2-4 get handwritten napkins.
