Avery's Kindy 500...

At Mapleton Elementary School, the Kindergarten classes have a Kindy 500! This is where all the kids make a car out of a cardboard box at home and then parade around the school! They make several "stops" around the "USA" and learn about historical people and events! (I got to be the Statue of Liberty in NYC and teach the kids about how Lady Liberty came to be)! Avery picked out the color of her car....and her racing stripe tape! Her and her dad made her car together and she was so proud of how it turned out!!

The headlights and hood ornament!

and a Utah liscense plate, of course!

Lining up for the parade at school!

lots of cute and creative cars....

What a fun day! I love how excited Kindergarten kids are to learn new things!

Jaret: Student Council

Jaret wanted to run for Mapleton Jr. High School Student Council. He had to write an essay and make a poster. Then they had the student body vote. He is now the Vice President at MJHS! We are so proud of him and his willingness to serve his school! He has had so much fun planning school activities and being a part of student government!

Here is the poster that Jaret made! It was hanging in the hall for 2 weeks so the students could decide who to vote for!

This is his Student government shirt. He wears it to school activities and to his leadership meetings. The theme is "Raising the Bar"!

We are so proud of you Jaret! You are such a good example of what a leader should be! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!

Jaret graduated from Mapleton Elementary School. The entire 6th grade did a program for the parents, in their graduation caps. Then they walked across the stage and got their diplomas. Mom was emotional and Jaret just can't wait to go to Jr. High!

"What a Wonderful World...."
