Hello, Goodbye Granger High

After 55 years, the old Granger High School will be no longer.  An open house was held at the beginning of June to tour the original school and then tour the new, super-duper high tech school.  We enjoyed walking around the halls, gym, library, "Stonehenge" (aka the lunchroom), and visiting Sir Lancer.  We even went back into the "red gym" which was where the wrestling team practiced and the "blue gym" where Tamara and I took a gymnastics class when we were a lot younger.  Lots of memories in that old school and lots of time spent running all over that gym.  I'm glad that my kids got to run around it too.

 

 

The new school is very impressive!  Massively huge.  When you first walk in the main doors, you walk right into a big commons area that will also serve as the lunchroom.  There are so many different hallways, that they have been lettered to hopefully help so you don't get lost.  The portion of the school that we toured was in the "L's".  Kind of glad that I don't go to school there now.  I got lost as it was in the old school.

 

A few things from May

I was talking to Tamara yesterday and she reminded me that my blog hasn't changed in a while.  So here are a few things that happened in May.

Elliot participated in his preschool program called "It's a Zoo in Here."  All the kids got to wear an animal hat that corresponded with the story "Polar Bear, Polar Bear. What do you hear?"  All the kids did such a great job.  They also sang the Alphabet Zoo song which was so cute!  Elliot had been practicing so hard at home for that one.

 Micah loved the cookies and milk.

 Grandpa Steve and Grandma Corinne came to see Elliot.

 

Me and my boys.  Guy came too but had to get back to work.

 

Amelia and Ashley participated in a little after school karate program.  Amelia has talked about taking karate for a long time and to make my life easier, Ashley did it too.  This was the perfect little class for the girls to get their feet wet without a huge commitment.  Ashley started out the week a little nervous but warmed up by the end.  Amelia loved sharing all the things that she was learning in class.  When the week was over, the girls got to test for their white belt.  This really turned into a sales pitch to try and get us to sign up for a year of classes.  But, it didn't fit in our schedule to have them start karate so we got out of that one.

 

 

The last big thing for May was Memorial Day.  A nice trip to Ogden to visit Grandpa Bill and have Farr's ice cream.
