Whaling Days Parade


Last year, when Paige was still at Green Mountain Elementary, she was in the uni cycling club before school. Once she was accepted into the gifted program at Emerald Heights that came to an end. And then Mr. Lancaster, the best PE teacher ever, got a hold of me and asked if Paige could be in the parade this year. She was able to join the club at their practices this summer and she did a really good job catching up with her skills and tricks. So last weekend, Paige joined her unicycling club in the parade! Ben and I were button holed to pull the cart with the music in it and so WE were in the parade as well! Woo Hoo! It was a fairly hot day, and we ended up being in the sun for three hours. We were tired by the time we got home, but it sure was fun! Now we can all add 'been in a parade' to our resumes!

Mr. Lancaster has invited both Paige and Ben to join the club in their before school practices. Paige and Bens bus to the gifted program doesn't leave the school until 830 so they will be able to join their friends in October when practice starts up again. It is AWESOME that they will be able to have an extra curricular activity once again!

Hugs to all,

Jaye
