Luke and Lindsey are back to school. I know both of them are excited for the year that is ahead of them. Their first week was incredibly busy as they prepared for the back-to-school assembly. The program for the assembly included the cheerleaders, madrigals, jazz band, and student body officers, including a speech by the President. Luke and Lindsey were involved in all of these areas which meant a lot of early morning and after school practices. The cheerleaders were also began to pass off their twenty one miles of running, which meant getting up at 5:00 am the first week of school. I watched in amazement as they got up, got themselves organized, and pulled it off. I thought it was exhausting just watching them.
The assembly was a lot of fun to watch. Everyone did a great job! The cheerleaders looked good, the student body officers were funny, the madrigals sounded great, and the jazz band played our favorite "Rocky" song. I know I shouldn't brag, but I have to mention that after Luke gave his speech, the Principal took over and said that Luke's speech gave him chills and he was very impressed by what he said. Watching the assembly, I had what I hope is one of President Uchtdorf's approved moments of parental pride.
