Every school year ends with lots and lots of performances. Highland Elementary had a performance where each class practiced and danced to a song. They practice for months and months. It is one of my favorite things they do at the school. Unfortunately they only do it once every two or three years. Claire performed …

Ellie’s Preschool Program
Another last…this was my baby’s last preschool program. She graduated from Bear Hollow Preshool. Although I won’t miss paying my monthly tuition, I will miss all the fun she had with Miss Molly and all of her classmates. She loved going to preschool and she had such a great time learning new things and making …
Be like Siri and vote for Megan
Megan decided to run for student council this year. She has been reluctant to follow in Jake’s footsteps, those being some pretty big shoes to fill (Jake ran in 8th grade, and was the student body president this year). But, I think she also saw the amount of fun student council should be. So, this …
Holiday Festivities
‘Tis the season of festivities. With the holiday season comes every concert and activity imaginable. We attended choir concerts, band concerts, school programs, and more. We also decorated sugar cookies, a gingerbread house, and visited Temple Square and the lights at Thanksgiving Point. We also attempted to go to the local nativity and walk around …
The Forgotten Lunch
Megan is in 7th grade. She’s a wonderful girl, but is extremely susceptible to paternal humiliation (as most junior high girls seem to be). I have a devious side, and couldn’t help myself when Megan unknowingly provided me with a perfect opportunity to embarrass her at school. I was just about to head off to …
Back to School 2014
We played all day and then walked the red carpet all night long. Continuing with tradition, we had our annual back-to-school fashion show. The kids picked their three favorite outfits and strutted their stuff. After voting was complete and tallied, each kid had a new outfit chosen to wear the next morning. We also discussed …
Megan’s Sixth Grade Graduation & Party
It is hard to believe that Megan is moving on to junior high. She had her sixth grade graduation and was able to celebrate by having a graduation party at our house. Megan & Mrs. Yingling Megan and Brylee planned the whole graduation party with very little help from me. They designated assignments and, in …
The Twelfth Night
One of the requirements for Megan’s sixth grade A.L.L. class was to perform a play. The assigned director, in the case Maile, was given a play to direct by the teacher and the assignment to give each classmate a role. The class director is then given the liberty of making changes to the play to …
Preschool Graduation
Ellie finished her first year of preschool at Bear Hollow this year. For the program, each student had to memorize a nursery rhyme and perform it for the class. Ellie was one of the mice in “Three Blind Mice.” I have to say she was one cutest mice I have ever seen! I was worried …
MRJH President
Jake has been selected as the student body president of Mountain Ridge Junior High! He was involved in student council this year as an 8th grade representative. Jake has always been a good leader (he was president of his elementary school too), but being the MRJH president is another level altogether. He will need to …
