March 2023

Stella and Claire were both in SLC's spring musical The Wizard of Oz. It was an awesome show and they both enjoyed being involved. Mom helped with cast meals during show week and loved seeing all of the students together working hard on the show!

Stella was a polisher, Claire was a crow, and both girls were Ozian's. They each had unique parts and did a spectacular job on stage! It was obvious how much fun they had with their classmates too!












Sadly, the girls went through a surprise announcement this month when they learned their band teacher would be moving on to another job. Mr. Snyder gave both girls their start with percussion and Stella in particular spends a lot of time in the band room. This news came with lots of tears but we know will bring growth too as these kinds of life changes will continue to happen throughout their lives. A huge shout-out to Mr. Snyder for being such a great supporter of our kiddos - we hope he knows how much he'll be missed!

Since it's musical season we checked out a few other schools:

Grease @ Norwood-Norfolk

and Damn Yankees at Canton with Grammie and Aunt Pat, Haley, and Skye


The senior parents hosted a Boots-N-Bling gala to raise money for the all-night party so we checked it out with some friends and even won some prizes! It was lots of fun!








March Madness is upon us so we decided to try out a squares pay-out fundraiser to support our SLC girls basketball program. Stella helped dad with randomizing the squares, and I helped with randomizing the grid #'s.


Randy pulled together a very last minute and very small group of girls to play in a basketball tournament that had a team drop out and needed to fill a spot. We lucked out and ended up playing the Canton team for the 3rd game so we had the opportunity to spend some time withSkye and her friends!

Pike's Place is trying to host events for our community so brought an improv comedy troupe, Completely Stranded, to town. Mom and Dad had a date night out with friends and had lots of laughs!


Stella had the opportunity to have a short piece of writing featured in this 'Twisted Tales' edition of spooky story starters:
