My home. Where my heart and soul belong

 

Eighth Grade Banquet

Harley’s 8th Grade Graduation Banquet was Friday night.  The kids have been planning the celebration for months, and they did a fantastic job.  The food was yummy, the decorations were beautiful, and the celebration was perfect – short and sweet!

Cove Play Day

Thursday was the annual Cove School Play Day.  Elementary Schools from all over the Valley come to Cove for a play day track meet, including Elgin, Imbler, Union, and North Powder.

Reagan was so excited to participate in her events, and she had a fantastic day!  I was not able to make it to the play day last year, so I was really happy to be able to make it this year.

Cove 2013 FFA Banquet

The annual Cove School FFA Banquet was held last Friday night.  The FFA kids spent a lot of time soliciting donations, planning the meal, and organizing the evening.  It was not the first FFA Banquet I have attended, but it is the first one that directly involved one of my kids.  The banquet is free, and is open to the community.

Cove May Day Program and some Maypole History

Cove School has a tradition, but I have no idea how long it has been happening.  Every year they hold a May Day musical program that includes a May Day Court (the first graders and seniors) and the winding of the Maypole (performed by the fifth grade class).

Dear Daughter

Dear Daughter,

If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes.  Only then would you realize how truly special you are.
