Groves Fun

During College Week, Annmarie represented BYU.  That was also the week they had Superhero Day, so those pictures were already posted. 

I also snagged the photo from when Nathan's class did morning announcements and he got to do it.  And they had 120th day of school this year instead of 100th day of school, so he dressed as an old man for that by adding glasses and wearing a vest.

 

Choir UIL and Wrestling Banquet

Choir UIL was this week.  I was able to watch Eliza's group perform at the competition, which was at the Performing Arts Center at Allen High School.  I did not get a chance to go to A'Cappella to hear Travis' choir sing.  Later that night was the wrestling banquet for Travis.  Corey and I both attended. 

 

Wylie ISD at the Meyerson

Wylie's varsity groups performed at the Meyerson again this year.  Eliza is in the 2nd level orchestra, which combines with the advanced orchestra for the Meyerson, so she got to play with the orchestra.  Travis is in A'Cappella, which is the varsity mixed choir, so he also got to sing at the Meyerson.  I love the Meyerson concert day; it's such a great day to experience these performing groups.

Celebrate the Arts, Baseball and Birds

Wylie ISD always puts on a Celebrate the Arts weekend where they have concerts given by the middle school music groups as well as a huge art show displayed at the high school. The parent orchestra got to participate in the concert this year, so I played my cello in it. Jonah's 6th grade band also performed. Nathan's baseball season started. He is on the Red Sox again, this time Corey is coaching his team. It will be a fun but super busy season. And we were invited to dinner at the Fastnaughts' house over the weekend. They have a pet bird, and Jonah got to experience letting it sit on his shoulder.

Award, Theatre, and and Concert

Annmarie got on the Principal's Honor Roll for the 3rd term of 4th grade. She is hoping to be on it all year. Eliza participated in a skit for her advanced theatre class and parents were invited to come watch (they were during the school day). She did a great job in her part. Kaori came with me to watch. And Annmarie had a choir concert with her 4th grade honor choir, or Wylie Children's Chorus, as they've named it. Eliza also participate in this choir while in 4th grade.

 

Jimmy John's Student of the Week

Nathan earned Jimmy John's student of the week. This is pretty exciting. Only one student in the whole school gets it each week. Jonah earned it once when he was at Groves. They earn it for being an exceptional student. We are proud of Nathan.

 

Nathan's First Grade Program

Nathan had his first grade program. His class (Roland) got to be the color yellow. His friend Nora Russell from our ward and our street is in his class. And he had a speaking part and got to play the xylophone.  He is such a smart kid!
