Wilburs!

 One of the projects in the 3rd grade I was dreading was making paper-mache Wilbur's.  We read Charlotte's Web to finish off the year and I was nervous about making them since I hadn't done it before. 

The kids were super excited and I think they (mostly) turned out great! I sure loved this group of kids!

Date Night

 Trav and I went to the City (on a school night) to see Roman Holiday!

 It was a fun night out and we enjoyed the show. 

Volleyball Awards

 Wednesday was our team awards night for Volleyball.  We didn't have a terrific turnout.  The choir changed their awards night to the same night after we booked our party.  Most of the boys ended up coming late, but we didn't have many families.  It was pretty sad!  Coach Romer assigns each boy to talk about another one.  They share a memorable moment and something that they admire about each other.  It's nice to hear what the boys have to say.

 Conner received a Scholar Athlete award from CHS,

 An NCS Scholar Athlete Award,

 An NCS certificate for making it to NCS, 

And ... 2nd team all league for the 2nd year in a row!  We're so proud of you Conner and can't wait to watch you play for one more year!

Armed Forces Half Marathon

 Travis ran his first half marathon last Saturday.  He was lucky because a lot of half marathons are on Sunday.  This one was on Saturday AND it was in Concord!

Trav was super speedy!  He finished in 1:38 minutes with a 7:30 pace! 49th overall and 5th in his age group!

 Andrew finished a minute ahead of Trav.  Congrats to both of you!!

Teri, Tina, Drew and Trav

All-star runners!

Calissa is 15!

Calissa turned 15 last Thursday and we went to Benihana to celebrate!  She was excited to receive a new Kindle and a Fitbit for her birthday.

She is planning on having a sleepover in a couple of weeks to celebrate with her friends.  Happy Birthday Calissa!  We're so glad that you are part of our family!

CHS Award's Night

 These two got awards at the CHS Award's Night last night.

 Calissa received the Outstanding Athlete in PE 9 award.

Out of all three kids, she is the first one to get a PE award!

 Conner got his Academic Letter for 5 semesters of 3.5 or above.

He also received a 4.0 award.

 He also received Excellence in Accounting

and one for Pre-Calculus as well.

Very proud of both of the kids!  Can't believe how fast they are growing up!

Open House

 I've been teaching 3rd grade since the middle of February at Monte Gardens.  Right before Spring Break the teacher told me she wasn't going to be coming back this year so I ended up deciding to stay for the rest of the year.  The district has this one time waver that you can sign to be able to stay in a position for more than 30 days in a school year.  This year seemed like the time to do that.  I've loved my time in the class so far!  They are a great group of kids and great teachers I'm working with.

 This week was Open House.  All but 2 of the families came to check out all their hard work.
