Good Morning,
WOW! What a wonderful rank exam event we had this past weekend. All of the students were magnificently sharp, and one of the judges even stated, "I could not find a single thing wrong with (insert particular student name). He should definitely rank skip."

The merit badges students can earn this cycle for the A.L.L.Y. (Academic Learning and Leadership for Youth) program is "Goal Setting." Students will fill out a piece of paper given by the academy which will ask them to complete 1 goal for 8 weeks (short term), as well as 1 long term goal (for entire cycle). Students will fill out the form at the academy, and we will post it. Once a goal is completed, students will sign off that they have completed their goal.
The second merit badge students can earn this cycle is "Honor Roll." Students should bring in their grade cards after March 13th, and students earning A's and/or B's on their gradecard in all categories will earn their Honor Roll badge at the April rank exams.

A wonderful pick me up for Tiger-Rock Students
Parent's here is a wonderful pep talk to share
with your kids especially if they need a little "Pick me up." Please
share this post with your friends.
Meet “Kid
President,” a 9-year-old bundle of cuteness gussied in a fancy suit. The
pint-sized president has been addressing the nation for months now in a
series of hilarious online videos, and his platform is simple: To make grown-ups less boring, to make the world awesome, and to make people dance.
His real identity is Robby Novak of Henderson, Tenn., and he’s been building a loyal following ever since his October debut on the YouTube channel of SoulPancake, a website co-created by Rainn Wilson of “The Office.” In that inaugural video, Novak boldly announced, “I’m not in a party — I am a party.”
“But what if there really were two paths? I want to be on the one that leads to awesome.”
Asked on TODAY who comes up with the lines spoken in his videos, Novak looked to his brother-in-law, who helped create them.
"We do silly stuff," Novak said. "He makes the boring parts, I make the awesome parts."
Montague, who lives a block away from Novak in Henderson, said the videos started after he began taping some family fun.
"We’ve always just goofed around, and we put it online," he said.
Montague and Novak started posting videos and tweeting via @iamkidpresident last July. About three months later, their efforts got noticed by SoulPancake.
"It was a really good fit because they’re all about putting out positive things on the Internet," Montague said.
For members of Novak’s and Montague’s families, the videos have always held special meaning.
“Robby has Osteogenesis Imperfecta (a brittle bone condition),” Montague said. “He has had over 75 breaks since he was born. Our first videos spread because our family and friends knew how much this little guy has been through. To hear him say, ‘Less complaining, more dancing’ has weight to it. He shouldn't be running — yet you see in the video that he is.
“We never get the chance to talk about this in the videos because we don't want that to be his identity. We've wanted them to connect simply because of the content within.”
