Student of the Month

The breakfast for the Students of the Month, yesterday, was great!  I recorded it with my iphone, but am not being successful at sharing it with everyone.  So, I will share what Aly's teachers had to say about Aly. Each team of teachers, I believe there are 2 teams per grade and also teams for ALB class teachers such as music, art, etc. chose a Student of the Month.  Aly's grade level teachers nominated Aly for the award.  Here is what they had to say:

"Team 5A is thrilled to present Aly Juntunen as our student of the month.  Aly is a very ambitious young lady who desires to do well in life and appreciates quality in all things.  This is very evident with the effort she puts into all her academic classes.  Aly is very creative and a self advocate when it comes to her studies. She is not hesitant to ask questions or help others in need.  Aly also has a very positive attitude and a straight forward 'I call it as I see it' demeanor.  Although Aly may not be big in stature, she is definitely a giant when it comes to personality and achievement.  Congratulations Aly!"

Yep, that is Aly!  Thank you teachers!  Watch for all the students in the local paper!

Tuesday, the pool man came out and we figured out where the pool is going.  He spray painted our grass with the dimensions of the pool, we aren't going to have much yard left, which is ok with Kevin and Tom...less to mow!  They are hoping, if the nice weather continues, to be installing it in a couple of weeks. The above ground pools take about a 1/2 day to install, then we have to fill with water, they come back and install heater and filter and the gate around the top, then we are good to go!  I hope it stays nice from here on out so we'd have a nice long pool season!

The Cirque Du Soliel, Michael Jackson Immortal, show was good last night!  We are all tired and we were all hoping for more acrobatics in the show, but we enjoyed it.  Michael Jackson was a creative genius and his songs are fabulous stories.  It was more dancing than anything else,  but the dancing was impressive.  There was one man, in the show, who was missing a leg and had crutches to help him dance.  It was truly unbelievable what he could do.  Several times he even danced without the crutches.  Very cool to see.  Aly is a new Michael Jackson fan, especially after seeing their version of Thriller.

That's it for now!
