Eagle Project madness!!!!

Today was a major packing day for Butte View Elementary where I was working this year. The school is closing due to budget cuts and to make better use of the newer elementary schools in Emmett.





This is a huge consolidation and has been a huge undertaking for those involved in the planning process. I do not envy the administration positions at all, but do admire them for doing such great work in such a short amount of time.




We had a levy vote the first week in May, which passed... HUGE BLESSING!!!! However, Butte View is still closing as an elementary school, but will be school district head quarters and the alternative school now.





Today, all the teachers were packing up their classrooms.




There were tons of volunteers helping pack and move classrooms out of the building. One young man in our ward took this opportunity and made an eagle project out of helping move the library to both schools last week.




Brandon decided to do his eagle project and help move the extended resource room from Butte View to Carberry were they will be working with the special needs teir three children. This project was HUGE!!!!





Brandon did a great job leading the other young men and other helpers to empty the classrooms and move the boxes to the trailers.




We had two trailers and tons of strong hands to help.




The moving took just under 2 hours to complete from loading boxes to move to unloading boxes in the new classroom at Carberry.







The teachers and aids from that classroom were impressed with how fast and efficient the boys/men worked. I was also impressed as well.







They all did a fabulous job. I am so very grateful for all who helped Brandon put in the hours for his Eagle project :)


What a blessing all were to the extended resource room, the ladies can now focus on setting up their new classroom and not be working all summer on getting moved and organized :)

Thank you all so very much!!

WOW!!!!

Ok, so it's been too long since my last posting! So much has been happening in the Hallam household.

We now have a senior in high school!!! AAAAHHHH not sure how that happened? I guess I didn't find the snooze button soon enough :'( I never thought the time would go by so fast. This morning Aaron was telling me "This year went by so fast" I told him that next school year would go by even faster... time never slows down, it only speeds up.... The song is so true to words "Time flies on wings of lightning, we can not hold it back"

All of the boys have learned a lot this school year and have grown so much! Next year, there will be two boys at the high school.... one in middle school at the junior high and two at Carberry (hopefully).

We're looking forward to a great summer vacation with tons and tons of fun things planned :)
