Open House/ Art Fair/ Cross Country Banquet

The school had an open house/art fair. Of course it was the week Ken was out of town so I was on my own. I felt like I was off schedule all night but we made it to everything and had a fun night.

Alexys made hair accessories for her art project. She made ribbon pony tail holders, flowers on pony tails, and some ribbon barrettes.

Shaelynne made some folders out of place mats. She uses them to take her quiet activities to church in. (Somehow I missed getting a picture of her teacher.)

Justyn grew giant sunflowers this summer in our garden. He also made an Airwolfe helicopter out of legos and a poster to represent his latest obsession.

Zach made a poster of his running.

After the open house, we hurried over to the Cross Country banquet, totally missed the dinner and all the awards, but got there just in time for Zach's award. He received the "Zach Attack" award because even though he struggled with asthma, his coach was impressed that he never mentioned it to anyone. He just kept working through each practice and race, and never getting discouraged with his results. He actually was a little emotional when he told the group that Zach had ran the last race without stopping once. He was proud of Zach's perseverance and determination. We were surprised because we didn't know the coach even knew about Zach's asthma. We didn't even know about it until this year when he started to run so it was all new to us also. I'm thankful they let him run with Robert Stuart this year. It was a good experience.
