Hillcrest High

 Kurtis' band teacher is also the band teacher at Hillcrest High where Kurtis will go to High School next year.  She invited Kurtis to come play with the band at the football and basketball games.  This was his first night with the Hillcrest band.  He had fun, but decided he really doesn't like football at all.

 A Sheriff's helicopter delivered the school mascot, a Huskie.

Let's go band!

Diversity Means

Each year the school has an optional Reflections project the kids can participate in.  Lila wanted to participate in this year's Reflections, themed "Diversity Means."  She originally wanted to, after attending the school assembly, write a song.  I was not quite up for that task and when she mentioned a sculpture I jumped on the bandwagon.  She chose the content with just a little help explaining what diversity does mean.  She also chose to make the rainbow which I found quite fitting.  She made each of the little people on her own and even wanted to make a person in a wheelchair.  Smart girl. The project is due on October 26th and then it will be some time until the winners are announced.  For now, for your viewing pleasure...
