GRADUATION

Kayla had her high school graduation ceremony this evening. We are so proud of her and all she has accomplished during her 2.5 years of public schooling. We were a little concerned about enrolling her in high school after home-schooling for more than 11 years, but she adjusted well and never looked back. Way to go Kayla!

Band Concert

Kylie and Keaton had their end of year band concert.  Keaton has come a long way this year in learning how to play the baritone.  Now when he plays it sounds like music instead of a dying walrus.  Kylie was in Honor Band again, and her band won a lot of awards this year.  Kylie auditioned for the high school band and made the second highest band.  Way to go Kylie!!!  Also, Kylie won the band award for best female bend student.
