Izzie's Christmas Program 2012

Izzie's class did a handbell performance, a dance, and the song "You Raise Me Up" with hand motions.

Izzie did a great job and kept her eyes on the teacher so she would know when to ring her bell.

You might notice that Izzie has the same expression in all the photos.  The teachers gave the girls a slight bit of lipstick, and Izzie kept her lips slightly parted throughout the entire program so it wouldn't come off!

Spelling Bee

Late last year Ben was one of 2 students from first grade who went to a spelling bee in another city.  He had to wake up very early to get on the bus, so he slept in his clothes.  Twelve students went from our school, and I was able to go with him as one of the teachers.

Here is most of the group from our school.  Ben studied hard and did a great job.  One of his favorite parts was getting to have a burger for lunch and pizza for dinner!
