Fourth grade in Mississippi brings a rite of passage called "Mississippi My Home!"
The children perform a singing, dancing, acting extravaganza of Mississippi history and fun facts. It was adorable and for me, a Yankee, very informative. Amelia had a speaking part and a musical performance and as you can see by her costume she was "the Southern Belle."
Featured parts were Native Americans, Explorers, Rock and Roll, Gospel singers, Southern Belle and Jefferson Davis. Yes, the head of the Confederacy army. Big deal down here.

Amelia's featured part. She was so stinking cute, I could barely stand it.
"Mississippi is the Home that I love."
She did awesome handling that big dress and hoop skirt. Just like Scarlet O'Hara:)
Amelia's big finish!
Who knew our little Chicago born baby would be a southern belle someday. Great job Mimi!
