Talent Show Queen

Chelsea got to show off her "dramatic" side last week at the 4th grade Talent Show. She and three of her friends ... Abby, Chelsea and Tori ... danced to the Cheetah Girls, "Amigas Cheetahs". The girls made up all the moves and came up with the costume ideas (Cheetah of course). As the girls walked off the stage, Chelsea raises both her hands in the air and blows the audience a kiss!

Will Rogers Junior High Jazz Band

Friday night we were treated to some amazing entertainment given by the Claremore Junior High and High School Jazz Bands. Of course we thought the junior high's performance was the best! T.J is the trombonist on the far right. We thought we'd share a little sampling.

We're excited to announce that this band will be going to Branson on July 9, 10 & 11th. They've been asked to perform at the Branson On Stage Live show opening for the Haygoods, Silver Dollar City, Branson showboat and 2 others that I can't remember. T.J. is going to have to rehearse daily to prepare and he even has to attend an "etiquette class" so they will all be well behaved at some of the finer restaurants. Good luck with that one!

Student of the month

Kaylee was selected as Student of the Month by her teacher for the month of February! I know ... February ... we've been a little busy lately! Here's what her teacher had to say about her: "Kaylee is a good student. She is an avid reader and writer. Kaylee sets high standards for herself and those around her. You are really awesome. I love having you in my class."
As a reward, she and other Students of the Month were treated to ice cream at Braum's. Plus, her picture in the paper (with some other kids too).

Chelsea is a proud Mama ...

... of a baby chick! Just hatched over the weekend in a make-shift incubator in her classroom. She's very proud. Sadly not all of the baby chicks did so well. Her friend's chick was having problems and had to be sent to the CICU (Chicken Intensive Care Unit). So far no name has been given, however Chelsea's already putting on the charms to Mom and Dad hoping she can keep it! YIKES!
