WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS

PRESTON

Preston has been working really hard this year at balancing school and work.  He has a job at Papa John's and has done a great job learning what is required of him, showing up on time and working long hours and going the extra mile for his manager.  It's so much fun to watch him work hard and save money for some of his long-term goals.  One goal he has is to participate in a humanitarian trip this coming summer.  It is expensive so he is saving up for it with his money from work.  

MARISSA

Marissa read "The Princess and the Goblin" by George MacDonald for colloquia for Polar Star.  She loved it!  I read the book years ago, but only remembered a little bit about it.  It was fun to have a conversation with her about her take-aways from the book.  She particularly loved how much courage and faith Irene needed to have to guide her so she could rescue Curdie. 

CALEB

Caleb attended "Peter Pan" with the family this week.  We all loved the ballet!  We have had a fun couple of weeks with lots of field trips added into our regular schoolwork, which is so much fun, but less frequent because of all the difficult classes and curricula the kids have this year.
