Canton capped off a great year of speech by repeating as State Champion!

We are beyond proud of the dedication he gives to his pieces and to his teammates. I love having the other kids over here and watching them grow. Congratulations to all the kids on their hard work and to Canton for his success and leadership! This kid is something else!

Liberty was a member of the ensemble in her first show at JBMS! We are so proud of her for managing her nerves, her time, and keeping straight As while taking on this big task! Congratulations, Liberty!

Thanks to Rhonda for sending a bracelet and flowers, so thoughtful, she definitely felt your love!

Traveled to NOVA today for gym. Adleigh had a great day! Fourth on vault, bars, and beam and got third overall!! She also got her first 9 on floor this year so she continues to strive to improve. Congratulations on all your hard work Adleigh!

Team got first place!

Canton had an incredible trip to the Southeastern Theatre Conference!

Congrats to JHS on a great showing at Super Regions! Canton won the event for his third time against some tough competition. Onward to states!

Canton wrapped up this successful and draining week by performing at the district choir and being selected for All State Choir in April.

I don’t know how he does it. Monday he had friends over here helping them with speech and singing. Tuesday he had rehearsal and auditions for Suffs. Wednesday was a marathon with Speech. Thursday he won the Bland Music Award from our local lions club and Friday and Saturday he had choir. Whew! As I write this he’s doing calculus homework. We are supposed to get some snow tomorrow and while I would hate more winter weather, this kid deserves as snow day!

Always in awe of his dedication and determination, and the gift of his voice! Congratulations, Canton!

The local Lions Club held a music competition.

First place, heading to Super regions next weekend!

Holy moly, this kid!!

So this week he has been sick and loaded with work and preparing for district choir, but also he attended the Virginia Qualifier for National Speech and Debate. This is a huge deal with fierce competition Friday and Saturday, multiple rounds, allllllll day. You have to qualify to even get to this meet and then have to place 1-2-3 to advance to Nationals.

He was a great captain, helping Dominic, Gracie, and Lucas with their pieces. He gives so much time and effort to his teammates!! And folks…

He won the whole thing! Congratulations, Canton!! We love you!

Nationals here we come! (it’s actually Richmond this year so lucky!)

Adleigh had a great meet in Fredericksburg! Her first time medaling at this event!

Team place second! Adleigh was third on bars, fifth on beam, seventh on vault, and fifth overall!
