Craiger went with his friend group to the Homecoming Dance. He asked his friend Charlotte & they had a lot of fun together in the group. They went to an escape room, then got some ice cream.
Then everyone came home to get ready for dinner & the dance.
They had a huge group of friends. . . so they got some fun pictures with their whole group.
He had a lot of fun with all his friends. He's truly enjoying the High School life.
Canyon was also accepted into NJHS again this year. Not only that, but he was asked to be one of the 5 NJHS Ambassadors for his entire school. (Just like his older brother, Craiger.)
The 5 ambassadors have regular lunches with the principal of the school to assess needs & come up with plans to make the school a better experience for the students, help plan service projects for the students, & brainstorm ideas on how to make the school a better place. Canyon is THRILLED to be appointed to this important position in school leadership.
For the induction ceremony, each of the 5 ambassadors got to give a speech about one of each of the 5 characteristics important to NJHS. He was assigned "scholarship." Each were given their topic & some words to say about it. Canyon memorized his speech & did such an amazing job delivering his words. He is going to be a great ambassador.
Canyon decided to join Cross Country this year at his middle school. He was SO proud to officially be on a team for the school. He was SO looking forward to his race.
His race was 2 miles & he was ready to go. He practiced all month by running 2 miles 3x a week & I was super proud of his progress. I love that he found something he enjoyed doing while learning teamwork, building up strength & endurance, & just finding the joy in something HARD.
He came in 38th out of over 100 racers. We are so proud of all the hard work he put into this season. We are so proud of you Canyon for trying something new & doing something HARD.
The week of homecoming, the ballroom coach asked me if I would make a banner for the ballroom BBQ before the homecoming game. It took me 4 hours because I'm slow, but it turned out cute.
The parents put on a fun little homecoming BBQ for both teams before the game. I think it was just what those kids needed to pump them up & get them excited to perform. Their energy levels were SO GOOD during the performance.
They performed a Samba this year & it's such a fun dance. Craiger LOVES samba. He did SO well with this one.
