Dashing through December

Aubrey dressed up for the CGMS Winter Concert

She is in the mixed choir and had a short duet part in one of the songs.

SCHOOL BOARD PRESENTATION

Four members -- Kaitlyn Powell, Jodi Johnson, Brianna Salas and Mary Alsobrooks -- of the new Management and Leadership class at CGHS reported on their study of the need for additional snack shack space and improvements to the restroom facilities at the football stadium. The student met with various individuals and the city building inspector during their study, and asked the school board to consider an upgrade. They suggested a new building for the snack shack and restrooms. (excerpt from CG Republican)

Kaitlyn went straight from basketball practice to Mrs. Bachura's

room to review for the presentation and then directly to the school board meeting.

A Girl and Her Dog

Almost two months ago now (October 19th), Aubrey went birthday shopping with her Nana (Rilla), to include a visit to Helping Hands Humane Society. You know they weren't going in there without coming out with something. She's been asking for a puppy for forever. So, better late than never, meet Shaggy aka Shwag aka ShagWag, nickname "Bubala". He's part Lhaso Apso, part traveling salesman and he is four. Aubrey says his favorite color is green..... He's pretty adorable, isn't he?

He's a beggar, this one.

He can sit like this for a VERY long time!

He's spoiled rotten -- sleeps with Aubrey every night.

The upside is she doesn't get up in the middle of the night as much now, I've noticed.

Actively Involved

FCCLA Fall Leadership Conference at Wamego High

(Family, Career & Community Leaders of America)

Michaela and Kaitlyn

BLOCK PARTY

Kaitlyn was in the Management and Leadership class that hosted a Block Party during first trimester finals. They planned all the events so students exempt from finals would have the opportunity to play the Wii, board games, ping pong, cards, and other games. Kaitlyn said it seemed very successful. She is pictured in this group playing cards.

Lights, Camera, Action

Kaitlyn was the Light Designer for the fall play

and was also part of the costume/makeup crew.

Late Night Show
Dance Contest
A parody of Dancing with the Stars had the senior boy basketball players performing dance numbers with the Bravettes and then each "couple" was judged. HILARIOUS!

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

A night of wrestling, Lady Braves basketball scrimmage and

then a game of Knock Out against the wrestlers, which the girls won, of course!

Kaitlyn says "Mine!"

And now her "BUSY" season begins!

Pumpkin Patch 2012

Walters' Pumpkin Patch is a frequent fall trip for our family and this year it was ALL of us. As Kaitlyn is a Junior in high school, this may very well have been the last time we are all there together. I hope going to the "punkin' patch" is a lasting memory for my girls. I know it will be for me.

My, how our punkins have grown!
