A note from Isaak
Isaak, a second grader came to the office late in the day today. He has been there before and I guarantee he will be back. He was to sit on a chair and wait until his teacher came for him. While he was waiting he was sitting right by the door and he would while sitting there open the door and lean out into the doorway and look in the hall and then sit up and the door would whoosh shut. I would look up from working and see no one that had come in so I would look back down and work again. He would open the door, look down the hall and lean back and let go of the door, whoosh, and it shuts again. I look up no one there. Probably this happened 7 times, I kid you not. I said could you please stop it with the door. Sweetheart I keep looking up when I hear the door but it is just you playing around. Few more times it happens. I stand up, put my hands on my hips point to a chair away from the door and say move there now!
It is decided not by me but by my coworker that he can wait in the nurses room until his teacher comes to save my sanity. She comes to get him and I tell her why he is in the nurses room. They leave and in about 5 minutes he comes in with this note, leaves it on my desk, smiles and walks out. Never says a word.
At the end of the day the teacher comes in and I tell her that I feel a little bad that I got mad at him and he had to write me a note. She says don't worry. It's good for him he was naughty all day. Perhaps I will see him again and I will put him on a middle chair to start!

Should I be offended or laugh?
A fifth grade teacher who I like, well I did, kidding, came into the office and said he had a Michelle moment:
He saw kids walking back to class after lunch and one had picked up an orange cone in the hall and had it to his mouth and was using it like a bull horn. He yelled put that down you idiot!
Then he felt bad for calling the kid an idiot. But he told us in the office, which we already know but it was so darn funny coming from him that he said under his breath that cone is used in the hall to cover throw up and it put in the toilet when it needs to not be flushed and that idiot had it to his mouth.
So funny but I don't remember calling anyone an idiot!

I am loud
Ok I am loud. It is not news to me. There are a few instances that come to my memory:
One is my mom telling me that she walked down the hall of church and whose voice did she hear clear out in the hall? Mine!
Another is that when I was newly married I would go to all those fun events with couples and girls night out and things like that. I remember everyone talking and filling in ideas and me chiming in but then later I would hear this: Michelle Brydson said.....What I would say? I was there but I did not say that, it's because I was loud there that night.
When Colby ran track for Kentlake I would make a fool of myself yelling for him and there was no way he could hear me on the other side of the track but oh, no, guess what is horrible? Me hearing myself on the video!
So this leads me to my newest loud story: When we have to do an all call at school we press #09* and there is a bell that goes ding ding ding and when we say it, loud and clear over the intercom system.......Kim heard me all the way at our house while he was out checking the mail!
Now that's loud!

Hanging in the Hall
A third grade class made artwork for the hall. It all has a patriotic theme and they drew pictures and wrote. One that is so cute has an American flag and has red and white stripes. On the white stripes they have written this.
Read it out loud it's better that way:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of amanca
and to the rebublic for witch it stands
one naction
under God
in the visible
with liberty and justis for all.
We just love the in the visible part!

Track Meet
Kelsi and Logan ran in their first tack meet of the season. It was held at Orem High. We took Colby with us and Jake came over from his track practice from UVU. We were all together!
They both ran the 400. Logan also ran a relay team 4 x 100.
So cute, so fun and such a nice day. Sun and no wind.
It's a day for the memories of a mother!
Sidenote:Today UVU breaks ground on their outdoor track. Jake says he's going to use a golden shovel and turn over some dirt. He gets to take part in that before practice.

It's called Skyward
The new program for the schools to use this year is called Skyward. Previously it was called Powerschool ASD400.
I am very familiar with Skyward, I have been to training classes and I use it every day. Elementary schools were the first to go live with it, then the Jr highs and then the high schools and then all the schools will be using it in the Alpine School District.
This year the High School students are registering for their classes using Skyward at home on their own time with their own computers. They have an assembly and then the portal opens and they have one week to sign on and register for their classes for next school year.
9th grade was the last to do this and Kelsi had her assembly on Friday and Monday the portal opened. She had heard that the good classes were filled up and it would be hard to get what she wanted.
I switched shifts with Kjristina so I could get off at 1:30 and Kim went and got her at 1:05.
She wanted to be right on to get her dance class with Janica Hayes, Kadens mom, and she is the the dance teacher at Westlake and the dance team coach.
She did it. By 2:30 Kelsi was done and had all her classes. She was smart and signed up for her electives first. That is what goes first and then she hurried up and signed up for her math class. She got one of the last 3 seats. She heard that her friends did not get into Geometry and they have to take Algebra again.
These are her classes for next year, Earth Sys, Foods 1, Photo 2, World Civ, World Geography, Geometry, PE Skills, Seminary, Comp Tech, English and Dance 2.
She is happy to get her classes but has friends who are staying at Willowcreek and then going on to Lehi and she is unhappy about that. She wishes the boundary lines were different. She will be attending Westlake which is a brand new school this year graduating it's first senior class in May!
