JANESSA RECEIVES THE TIGER AWARD 09/30/10

On the TIGER AWARD it states...."Janessa is a hard worker and very considerate of others". She received it only four weeks into the new school year. When you receive this award the student gets to eat lunch with the principal and help out in your class. She was very excited.

A picture with Mia also with the Minnie statue she painted.

Great job Janessa. We are so proud of you. Great job painting Mia.

MOM AND DAD'S NIGHT OUT 09/24/10

We had a great night out. We went and saw Dokken in Jackpot, NV. They were wonderful. Ken loved them when he was younger. I never know music, so I went not knowing what they were like, but now I am a fan. They were awesome.

I would go again any day!! Thank you Ken for a wonderful night.
