Celebrating Lisa's Class' Win of the 2024 Indy 500 Soap Box Mini Derby

Second Post of the Day

Thursday Teacher Daughter Lisa and her class were surprised when a crew from The Indianapolis 500 Festival showed up at their classroom and handed Lisa a trophy.

Still in shock from having won the Mini Soap Box Derby, I think their visit made it feel more real to Lis.

Lisa, her class, and the Indy 500 Festival officials, ready to drink their celebratory milk, take a picture with their car and trophy center stage.

The obligatory silly photo.

We did it! (These photos were made public so I can share the kids' faces.)

Watching the winning heat of the race.

Lisa, you may have been born in Illinois, but I think that winning the Indy 500 Mini Soap Box Derby makes you 100% a true Hoosier now!

Congratulations!

Note: I have some very early tests and appointments tomorrow morning. I'll do my best to get a blog post posted before I leave. If not, I will be back with one Thursday.

Stay 'tooned!
