Frankenstein

The upper schools (7th -12th) drama class performed an adaptation of Frankenstein this year. Emory had one of the larger roles, playing Elizabeth. She did a great job despite not feeling well and have two Benadryl in her system. 

She was not a fan of the itchy uncomfortable dresses! 

Athletic Banquet

Emory received the Most Improved Player award in Junior High Girls Basketball. She was super surprised. She wasn't going to play basketball this year, but the team is pretty convincing and talked her in to it. I think she is glad she played, she had lots of fun this year and learned a lot! 

 

Cason's Hog Trap

After the boys last soccer game we came home to check out Cason's new hog trap. He tried to buy one at the fair last year, but they all went really high. Shane told him he would build him one and Cason has been waiting for it to be completed ever since. 

 

Soccer: That's A Wrap

The boys soccer season finished up two weeks ago. Cason's team (the Cyclones) went undefeated and came in first in the league for that age group. Eli's team (the Blue Sharks) finished somewhere in the middle winning some and losing some. Both boys scored several goals and played great.

Meet Ellie Valentine

Meet Ellie Valentine! 

We let Emory use some of her earning from the Nacogdoches Steer Show to purchase her very own heifer. After many failed attempts of trying to buy one at auctions, we found this shorthorn heifer in her price range and Emory was in love. The family we bought her from was calling her Valentine, so Emory decided to keep it as her middle name. She is super excited to start showing her! 

 

Big Serve 2022

April 8th the kids all participated in their schools annual Big Serve event, where the entire school serves in some capacity around the community. Eli helped clean the buildings at Millard's Crossing. Cason worked at Sacred Heart Church in the food pantry and removing several fallen trees on the grounds from recent storms. Emory worked at Helping House sprucing up the flower beds and at Calvary Baptist cleaning out storage closets. After all the work everyone came back to the school for cotton candy, popsicles, and games. I went with Eli's class to Millard's crossing and we dusted, swept, and cleaned several of the old buildings including the caboose, which was a huge hit!
