Hey!
Hi everyone! It's been a long time since my last post, because I have been pretty busy with 6th grade!! If they every make a new show called "Are You Smarter Than a 6th Grader?", I'll be ready!
Hope you all have been watching "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?"! I have a story to share from a recent episode. It's about Elizabeth Miller, an "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" contestant who won $250,000. Taping that show was unbelievable, because she actually went for the bonus question after winning $25,000. That was the first time I saw anyone try the question with that much money already in the bank. When she got the bonus right, the whole audience went nuts, right along with us kids! Jeff was pretty excited too! Elizabeth was actually able to keep her big win a secret from her husband for about 7 months, until the show aired. On the day the show aired, the producers decided to surprise her and her husband. We went to her apartment in the morning with a huge check for $250,000. They played a tape of the show for Elizabeth's husband. You should have seen his reactions! He was so shocked! "Good Day LA", "Inside Edition", and the "Daily News" were there to see the presentation of the check! Elizabeth made sure that her husband wouldn't get suspicious by telling him that the TV crews were coming to do a pregnancy story (as she is pregnant with her second child). He didn't suspect a thing, and got a huge, great surprise!
See you soon!

I haven't got the chance to see someone win it all! That must have been cool. I really enjoy your blog, Danielle. I work at a Middle School in Colorado - :-) I appreciate all of your honest insights. Keep up the good work!
