Back to School Celebration

This week we had our Back to School Celebration.
The evening was perfect.

Our theme for the year is...
"The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth."
(D&C 93:36)

Let me present the stars of the show.


And one more, who is not here yet.

The weather was perfect, dry and cool.
The conversation was fun and light.

We dinned on mixed greens, raspberry, almond salad, with
hake served over hearty grains and topped with peach and red pepper salsa.

No celebration is complete without bubbly.

The company was the real treat of the night,
but we also got to enjoy...


...some of this.



"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire"
William Butler Yeats
I'm really excited about the things we have planned for this school year.

Now there is nothing left to do but to get to work.
