Allison is in Provo teaching third grade at Bennion Elementary. I got to drive to Provo with her and stay for a few days to help her get things organized in her new classroom. She has 31 students. I know that Mrs. Whitezell will be a fabulous teacher. I am so proud of her and all that she has accomplished. Grandma Judd took this picture of Allison on her first day teaching.
Here is Emily, ready for her junior year. She is busy on the tennis team and is President of the ACHIEVE club. She goes to early morning seminary at 5:25am. She is a remarkable young woman!
Haley is totally ready to rock sixth grade. She loves the idea of being in the oldest grade at her school. She enjoys playing the flute in band. Outside of school she is really progressing in dance. She is a beautiful ballerina! Go Haley!!
Hannah is a very happy fourth grader. She loves school, and told me over the summer that she wished school was year-round. Hannah has been busy reading several books in order to be prepared for the "Battle of the Books" competition later in the year. She is looking forward to making it into GATE. 
Ben started a new school this year. He is now in the ABLE program. He was quite nervous the first day since he had never seen the school, nor had he met his teacher. I told him that I would take him the first day. When we walked into the school we were greeted very warmly. Ben was shown to his desk. He was seated next to a boy that is about 6'3, weighing 230lbs. Ben looked so small next to him. I'm sure though that they will become friends. This year in school Ben will learn some job skills and be able to use them at a few different job sights. His first day he went to Dollar Tree and stocked shelves.
