Sammie at a New School

Sammie is in a new school this year. Legacy Preparatory Academy. The first day of their school year they called and said they had an unexpected opening and Sammie could take it if we want. We stressed like never before on whether or not to take it. Well, we did and it was the best decision EVER! School has been 100% better for her. No kidding. She just got her grades and got three A+, 2 A's, one C, and the most impressive, a B in math!!!!!!! She loves her new school. It really is the best. Sammie comes home and immediately starts on her homework without even being told. And she feels smart now! That is the best thing I could ever hope for.

Sammie has already had a ton of fun activities there. Last week the 5th grade took a field trip to North Canyon Park to film plays of Native American Legends. Sammie had the part of a turtle and did awesome! The whole family went up to watch them perform their plays. They have a field trip scheduled just about every month. Lots of fun!

Thank You Legacy and Thank you Heavenly Father for making it possible!

I am so glad it's working out. Success at school makes a huge difference in how the rest of life feels - for the whole family! She's such an awesome girl... glad she's finally feelin' it all day long! :)

HEY!! I know you! What the heck are you doing in Utah?? We lived in Eagle Mountain from August 2006-November 2007....let's just say that a year was all I could handle ;) Besides all the Mormons (HA!), me and snow do NOT mix. We've been in Texas since then and love it.

I'm so glad to see that y'all are doing well. Hooray for happy children in schools that can give them what they need!
