We Regret to Inform You...

July 22, 2008

Dear Jack,

On behalf of Fox and "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" we’d like to thank you for joining us for our Class of 2008-09 auditions. This season we saw the brightest, most enthusiastic group of soon-to-be-5th Graders yet, and we hope the experience was as fun for you as it was for us; we enjoyed meeting each and every one of you.

Of course, we are only able to pick five new classmates from among the thousands of kids who auditioned, and with regret we must inform you that you have not been to chosen to be a part of the new 5th Grader class.

We hope you’ll remember your trip to Hollywood fondly, and have lots of memories to share with your family and friends. Please accept our best wishes for much success in the future.

Warm regards,

Casting Director


Well, now we know. Becasue of the four weeks of silence, we felt fairly sure we knew the answer, but there was always a bit of hope held out that it could potentially happen. For certain we are not too disapointed, and Jack says he is OK as well. It will be interesting to see who made it. I guess for now Jack will have to live with being an Alaska kid who plays in the snow all winter and catchers fish all summer.

Fish On

Hey Jack,

Aw, darn. But your dad's right about the last part...snow & fishing rock. Most of the kids in the Lower 48 know more about Hollywood than Alaska. You're the one living the REAL adventure, making memories that will last a lifetime.

We love you and are so very proud of you :-)
