Grades

The Term is finally over. All the kids got their report cards. Everyone of them recieved all A's in every class. They are very proud of their grades. They are also excited because Zion Bank pays you a dollar for every A.

LaCaille

For Marissa's foods class she was able to go to LaCaille. This was especially exciting because normally it is very expensive, and she would not have been able to go. Her first course was es cargo. Surprisingly, it tasted very good to her. Then she had sorbet to clense the palet, a salad, and the main course which was chicken. She then had a dessert. The dessert was ice cream flambe with bananas. In order to make flambe, they must light the entire cup on fire. This was Marissa's favorite part.

Science Fair

This year Weston was able to enter a science fair project. He decided his question would be: Is School or Home Lunch Cheaper? He figured out school lunch is cheaper for just one day, but over a period of time, home lunch costs less.

4-H Contest

This Saturday Marissa and Shanelle participated in a 4-H consumer decision making contest. They point of this contest was to find the cutest outfit, for the least amount of money. You also needed to take into consideration, the purpose for the outfit, how it fit, how it corresponded with the other outfits in your wardrobe, and how often you would wear it. Shanelle won first place in the intermediate division, and Marissa won second in the senior division.

Piano Lessons

This year Weston decided to take up piano lessons. He doesn't like to practice very much, but loves the recitals. He is currently learning to play You've Got a Friend in Me, and many Christmas songs.
