The Waterford Prom and the Hillcrest Prom were on the same night so Elliot and Kelsey had to choose and decided to go with some of Kelsey’s friends to the Hillcrest dance. Kelsey’s sister took the professional looking photos and I took the standard unprofessional “stand by the stairs” photos! Kelsey’s dress was awesome and Elliot looked pretty good too!
As part of preparing to perform in the annual Day of Percussion that is held every spring, Clark was able to perform his piece Nocturnal Opus 70 by Benjamin Britten in a Waterford percussion recital. It was a long piece originally composed for the guitar, that took many months to prepare and was very challenging to perform. He did a great job! He also received good marks on his performance at the Day of Percussion Festival.
Over the past several months, Clark has been working on his Eagle project. He decided to collect used and new books as well as money to purchase books; all to be donated through the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization to three different elementary schools. Our ward was super generous and he was able to collect several boxes of books and several hundred dollars to purchase books.
He had fun shopping for and buying the books. If you can’t afford to buy for yourself, the next best thing is being able to buy for someone else! During our spring break from school we were able deliver all the books to the elementary schools throughout the Salt Lake valley. The schools and the kids were so appreciative – he even got some thank you cards from some of the children!
Loading up all the books!
