Dog Handling isn't Maria's only talent!!!!! This exciting news from Mom, Debbie Neff!!!!

Just had to brag - Maria received her tests scores back for the tests that is given to all Ohio 10th graders.

Writing - Math - science - reading - history Her test scores were the highest anyone can achieve.

Just a few months ago she got back her pre- SATs scores and had the highest score in her school.

I hope scholarships are in the making!!!!! Debbie
