We took a group photo of all of my kids who were &#8220;on green or purple&#8221; for all of November.  Then I took a photo of the girl and the boy who had the most purple.  (If there is ever a tie, I will make it more like a raffle.)  Congratulations to all of these kids.  We have started over for December.  We will have a most improved student next month.
