Great job at songwriting, @GoAskDad. I am very impressed that you are finding a way to make waiting for your son’s letter so much fun. 
@GoAskDad and @pamom21 I just spit out my tea laughing.
Thank you @MamaBear16. IF my DS’s name is on that list sent to his school, it will make my foray into country music all worthwhile.
@GoAskDad I think you would have heard if your S didn’t make it by now…
And, believe it or not, my little song actually has a real, legit tune to it. But unless I can figure out how to rig it up on Garage Band, using DS’s iPad, the melody will be confined to my head alone (where it will be lonely…and where I’ll forget the tune tomorrow, anyway).
Dear God. DH just informed me that our Girl Scout Cookie order is being delivered to his office tomorrow by a coworker. The harbinger of at least one more week of waiting…
@albert69, I certainly like the way you think! Since DS is a “bubble candidate,” I just want to get official word from the school, or NMSC, or Stan, or Jimmie…
So - we received our letter today in TX (homeschooler). It did come regular USPS. The certificate is up on the fridge and I’ve already posted on FB!
@Showingupforlife, I would read that principal comment as confirmation that the semi-finalists in-question had advanced to finalist standing. The timing is especially interesting, since we have another NV poster who got a confirmation letter (today, I think). I’d view that as a highly-favorable sign, but suggest a follow-up email to the principal, or a call to his/her office, in the AM if that name on the list was yours, or your DCs.
Wishing you all the best! Please keep us posted.
Congrats @4blessings! So another southwestern state gets it.
Congratulations, @4blessings! We especially appreciate all our homeschoolers on this thread!
So here’s our current list:
New Mexico - Sat 2/7 - homeschooler
Michigan - Mon 2/9 - heard from school
Nevada - Mon 2/9 - homeschooler
Ohio - Mon 2/9 - heard from school
Texas - Mon 2/9 - homeschooler
Thanks @goaskdad, I’m the stressed out mom, waiting for months and years for this news like all of you here. I can’t wait for the final confirmation for my DS and his classmates. I’ll keep you posted when the letter is in our hands.
@Showingupforlife, I definitely think you should consider calling the school tomorrow, or have your DS stop by the office to ask about it. Wouldn’t the principal notify students first…before publishing their names without even telling them? It’s possible that your principal thinks the students are already aware. That’s how it sounds to me, anyway. Thinking positive thoughts for you! What state are you in again, or did you say, or do you want to say? If you don’t want to say, that’s obviously fine. W’e’re just trying to keep a running list of states that have received information.
Waiting in Oklahoma…
@goaskdad I’ve already put an email into his GC for clarification. I’m surprised they announced it that way too since the admin have a history of calling the kids down to the office for things like that. My DS and another student had just been called down last week for Presidential Scholar candidate status so maybe that had something to do with it (even though I know they aren’t related). Maybe tomorrow…Oh, FYI, we’re in Nevada.
Congrats! As a very happy WSU Shocker myself (1989/1995) I think you have made a fantastic choice!
Haven’t heard from GC here in N. Texas. I’ll give admin a day or so before I start pestering. Congrats, @4blessings.
@DiWantsToTravel Is that directed to me? I hope it’s good! We are going to visit in March now that we know I’m a Finalist. Do you know if the AE program is strong?
Got a response from school to my email that DS got qualified as a NM Finalist. From SF Bay Area in California. DS was told that he can pick up the cert tomorrow. Feel relieved!
Congrats @CaliDad99! To help out @GoAskDad with the updated list:
