Pinewood Derby













Tuesday night was our Cub Scout Pack's Pinewood Derby. The boys and Tony were very excited. The boys did great. Joshua built a batmobile, and Joseph built a dragster. Joshua got the award for best superhero car and Joseph got the award for best use of unique material because he added the extra pipes and engine. They had a great time, and are already planning for next year!

Makala's Surprise



Makala was surprised last night when some of the Beehives and their leader, Sis. Erekson, showed up to kidnap her for a surprise birthday party and welcome to Young Women. She was very excited and can't wait to turn 12 this thursday and be an official Beehive.

A Big Day!











Last Thursay, the 12th, was a big day for all of the kids. First, Kathleen went to UIL choir competition with the 8th grade Women's Select Choir from her school and they received a first division for their stage performance, the highest you can earn, and a first in their school's history. They were so excited. Then Makala was chosen for both the Honor Band and Choir for 6th grade. They participated in a concert for 5th grade roundup, which is where all the 5th graders and their parents were invited to learn about the Junior High and all the activities that are available. She did a great job, she is currently second chair in the French Horn section in band, and is looking forward to next year. Then, to finish off the day, the boys had karate class and were promoted to yellow belt. The boys are pictured with their instructor, Ms. Kyle, who is also a twin. They really like her. We are so proud of all of them!
