HisStory Faire

Each year Summit has a HisStory Faire in which each grade dresses up in costumes that represent the time period that they study throughout the year. K5 studies Colonial Time and 3rd study the Greece and the Greek gods. Then they will march into the gym in chronological order sing a song or two and then there are booths set up by each class. There is a craft, food item and items that students have made for you to buy with tickets. And at some point during the evening each grade performs on the stage. Emily's class did a sound off (each student has a part and they will all say some parts together) on the Greek gods and goddesses and they sang the greek alphabet. Kerri Ann's class recited part of the Declaration of Independence and sang some songs that they had learned. It was a great evening.


Kerri Ann in Colonial costume. Emily dressed as
Aphrodite. Their class made their chitons during
school one day. Emily was sick the day they did
this and chose to let her classmates make hers for
her. They did a super job.

Love this picture. Even if the sun and wind were
a problem.

They didn't think that the water was cold, but I
did!

was!!

Easter Sunday

*** 13 NEW POSTS. YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE OLDER POSTS TO SEE ALL***
Nana and Poppa were able to come up on the Thursday before Easter and stayed through the Weds. after, we enjoyed having them here! We did things a little differently this year. We usually have the Easter Bunny come on Sat. so that Scott can be home. But Emily really didn't want to do it on Sat. So to have the Easter Bunny on Sunday they had to wait until AFTER church (they were fine with that, especially since Nana and Poppa gave them a Zhu Zhu pet when they got here).


This pic. was actually taken on Sat. She was
EXTREMELY dirty!!! The dirt was probably
1/2 an inch thick in her hair!! I had to wash it
4 times to get all the dirt out!!


Ready to go to church. Beautiful!!


Me and the girls.
