Yearly Archives: 2013

Zach is coming up on the last day of school and as part of this, they have an entrepreneur day where his class brought in stuff to sell and see how they could do.  He decided to make cupcakes, but not only did he do that, he dressed up in his apron, had a great sales sign, brought the cupcake decorative stands we have, and was really outgoing!  🙂

He ended up coming in second place in his class!  🙂  He was quite the little sales guy.  He was so excited that things went well and he is now trying to make all kinds of things and sell them to us!  🙂  Great job Zach!

Today, Zach gave his year-end report on a famous person he admired.  He has been working on this report for the past month and has been enjoying it very much.  He chose George Washington.  He dressed up like George and gave his report beautifully (from what we heard)!

He gets done with school next week and he is excited but a little sad because he has really enjoyed it and made some friends who he likes to spend time with.  Great job Zach!

Today was the last day of school for the girls!  They are excited to be out.  They have struggled with the move but have made some good friends and have been having fun as well.  It will take a bit more adjustment, but they’re coming along!  The boys still have another week of school, so the noise level in our house for the summer will be a little less next week.  🙂

Way to go on a strong finish, girls!

Tonight Kirstyn had the final band concert of the year at the middle school.  Her teacher has been VERY impressed with her (no surprise there considering her talent and the district we just came from)! 🙂  She did a great job playing and she also got a band award with all the other 8th graders for their hard work!

We just found out also from her auditions for the high school band that she is one of only 2 or 3 freshman that was selected to be in Wind Ensemble, the highest audition band at the high school!  What an awesome thing is that!  To be thought so highly of as a freshman is a huge accomplishment!  From what we hear, that rarely happens at Castle View High School!

Brittany found out the results of her auditions as well!  She made it into Chamber Strings, the highest orchestra at the high school!  She is only 1 of 17 in Chamber Strings, and for a newcomer, that is absolutely phenomenal!  They see a ton of potential in her as well!

In addition to band and orchestra, Kirstyn made it into the audition freshman choir, and Brittany made it into Versailles, the audition women’s choir.  They are both excited, having not participated in choir in high school before.  They both have great voices and we love to hear them sing!

Great job girls!
