exams

Know what else is up with Maxwell? He ended his first semester at the JH with all As! He rocked all of his exams – he got a 94% on his advanced math exam, a 100% (!) on his advanced english exam, a 97% on his science exam, a 98% on his civics exam, and we’re still waiting on his spanish exam grade but know it will be muy bueno! Amazing! Proud doesn’t even come close to describing it! Way to go, Maxwell!

holiday program

December 14, 2023

Samantha performed in her final MBE holiday program this week. It was cute – mostly songs with a little bit of “acting”. I just love to watch her on stage. She shines! I went to the first performance on Tuesday and she looked adorable, obviously.

She smiled and sang and nailed it!

I also couldn’t figure out why her skirt was sticking out like this…until I realize they throw “snowballs” at one point and she was hiding two snowballs in that skirt! ha!

Program day 2 and another cute outfit!

These two got to see her perform in the morning!

I then went up to watch the afternoon performance. Maxwell was out of exams and promised Samantha he would come. I then agreed to pull Spencer out of class so he could see it. They somehow recruited Henry to sit with them. Trouble on the front row!
