First Day of School - Fall 2025

And the new school year begins. . . . 

Craiger is a Freshman this year.  He is starting the year with early morning Seminary (most kids do seminary during the school day, but he wanted to start his day with Seminary. . . BRIGHT & EARLY).  Craiger is the only freshman boy on the Varsity Ballroom team so on the days he doesn't have early morning seminary, he has early morning Ballroom practice.  He's taking mostly core classes this year, but sprinkled in some band (french horn) & some fun (drone technician).  And then of course, he will continue to be awesome in the Civil Air Patrol leading his squadron.

Canyon is a new 7th grader.  He is the only one left in middle school & he is SO EXCITED about it.  He's full of energy, can't wait to see all his friends, & is going to be a rockstar this year.  He's already joined PTSA & is going to run for an officer position this year.  He's going to apply to NJHS.  And then there is a new drama program this year that he's SUPER excited about.  He's got a lot of core classes, but also some fun ones like orchestra, debate, & foods.  He's going to rock it this year.

Bladen is a Junior in High School this year.  He is ready to tackle the new year as the newly elected vice-president of the high school E-Sports Team.  He's been working hard getting everything for the team ready to go for Club Rush week.  He's been organizing schedules for E-Sports team tryouts next week.  He's been busy busy busy.  Bladen has a lot of core classes this year (Physics being his favorite so far), then he's starting advanced percussion & German 1 as new class electives.  It's going to be a great year for him.

And my sweet Taya had her very last "first day of school" this year.  She also has early morning seminary with Craiger & then ballroom practice in the mornings (hence the all black dance clothes on the first day).  She's tackling her senior year with ALL COLLEGE CLASSES.  She goes to the high school for ballroom & orchestra, but she'll be doing 2 English classes, Math Classes, Gov Classes, & 8 digital media classes at the college here.  She will be racking in the college credits this year to give herself a head start.  She's amazing.

Good luck Kiddos!  Go be amazing!
