Everyone is doing very well in school!
Our child was inducted into the Honor Society this year, as well as receiving awards and starting their sports career!
Our middle kiddo is in advanced reading classes. They love their subjects, and they truly lucked out with some of the finest teachers this year! I've been trying to encourage art projects at home since that subject is decreased. We threw a big Halloween party/potluck for the kids from school.









Their projects this year were incredible! One of our children made the African Savanna and the other did a slideshow about Lewis Latimer and the lightbulb.










Earlier this year, we visited a giant Ice Castle in February built by a local school; Our family organized a 100 bag giveaway for those facing uncertain housing to the local Salvation Army in March 2025. My personal donation was valued at $3000.00. Our city declared homelessness an emergency and I wanted to help with real items that real people could use.
These bags were filled with brand new cold/rain weather essentials, warm socks, first aid and hygiene kits, emergency items, menstrual items (discs and a jumbo box of 100 pads), journals and more. 
I also donated $375.00 to the National PBA for Fallen Officers and their families.
