School Concert: Malynda's Class

Malynda played her clarinet as well as singing.

School concert, Blake's class

Blake's 2nd Grade Class sang two songs.

They all did a great job.

Poppy, Pop Pop, and Nanny were all able to make it.



This was one of Blake's songs for his Christmas Program.

Malynda participated in her Guitar Teacher's church Christmas program. Most of her Westport family made it. She did very well. She forgot to smile but concentrated very hard. Nan (Ann) called us up to make sure she wore something to make her stand out. Sheila got all the kids these Christmas dresses and I think it did the job.
