The new Mount Si High School project finished just in time for the start of the school year. Jonathan, Avery, Layla and I went to the grand opening/ribbon cutting ceremony and got to tour the new campus. It is pretty amazing — three stories tall and built on stilts (it is on a relatively small parcel in a flood plane and will serve up to 2300 students). Hard to believe we’ll start our long journey as MSHS parents in less than two years! I’m so excited our kids get to go here!

This year we have a seventh grader, fourth grader, second grader, & a preschooler. Now that the kids are all older, first day of school pics are getting pretty easy, in fact, the morning was eerily smooth! Slow down, time.
The morning went so smoothly we had time for a “cuppa” on the front porch while we waited for the bus! Pinch me!
Cheers!
Silas & Kieron caught their bus first. Then we had an hour or so to kill before Avery had to catch his, so we played Oregon Trail

Finally it was time to drop this little lady off for her first day

June means the end of the school year, and it was loaded with all kinds of parties, performances, and celebrations. I really enjoyed volunteering at Field Day at the elementary (thanks, Mom, for helping out with Layla so I could show up.) The older grades celebrated in the morning and the younger ones in the afternoon, which meant I either had to choose which child to be there with or spend the whole day there, and I was so glad to get to be there with both.
Silas and Layla both had performances which they worked very hard on. I realized I have no pictures of Avery. I guess Middle School is a little less eventful at the end of the year!

End of the year performances. Silas rocked it as Papa Bear in Goldilocks
Layla, performing “I won’t grow up” from Peter Pan
The musical theatre class performed Step in Time from Mary Poppins. I did the same routine in high school (I was a chimney sweep). It was so fun watching another young group perform it!
Flowers for our little performer!

In September we attended my 20 year reunion at the Salish Lodge. We had a great time catching up with friends, and I thought our 20 year was way more fun than the 10 year! The class of ’98 had so much fun reuniting that half of us decided to continue the party at the Snoqualmie Casino after we closed down our room at the Salish.
EHS class of ’98!
