Welcoming a new Legacy..

Dr. Hadlock, the new principle, who is the best we've EVER had.

Giving his speech... Great job, Ryker

My favorite cheerleader, Sydnie! She did a GREAT job too!

Angie telling Ryker what a great job he did!!

Wednesday evening there was a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new jr. high, it was just before back to school night so we went. We also wanted to hear Ryker give his speech. Ryker and Stockton have been best friends since we moved here. They have always gone to church, preschool, scout camps, school and played various sports together. Ryker is the Student Body President at the new jr. high. He had to speak in front of over 100 people at the ceremony. It WASN'T the student body, it was public officials, Layton mayor and city counsel, the architects who designed the building, the Davis School Board, media, the international design team that designed the playground and many other important people.

Wow, the kid did so great! When he was done, I must have acted so proud, because the lady next to me asked if that was my son? I said "No, but he could be." I pointed to Angie, who was sitting behind me and gave her the credit she deserved. The Garrett's have reared all of their children to be leaders and exceptional people, I can only hope my kids can be like them. Ryker was quoted in the paper, Stockton read it to me from the Internet, with pride too.

We went to back to school night, met Stockton's teachers and WOW he has his work cut out for him. He is lucky, HAPPY and blessed to go to this great school.
