Ready....Set.....Nutcracker!

 Even though Em stopped doing ballet this year, we're both excited for Nutcracker week!

 I'm so funny.

 My room is probably the most prepared...

 Actually, we were both just in the mood for an impromtu photoshoot. Luckily we had all the Dance Company girls there to take phone pics right before class. Here we are in the dance hallway, which is also the Wrestling Room and Weight Room hallway. So that's fun.

 Look at this sunset!

Ruby and I are choreographing a dance for our Winter Concert. It's in the children's half and based on a book called One Winter's Day. 

 AP Art History is my favorite class. I have to miss it twice this week; one for our Winter Concert dress rehearsal today and on Friday because I'm going to a dance workshop at UVU.

I drew this Degas-inspired Little Dancer last week because it was the end of term and I had a bit of time.

My Nutcracker bears! Noel, Gema, Bennett, unnamed, Cinnamon, Valentine, and Scarlet.


Also, just so you know...

Parents and seniors, <<<That's me! I'm a senior! gah!
It is College Admissions Week we encourage all seniors to take this week to start or complete their college applications. The University of Utah will be here Wednesday during Homeroom and Tutorial to help any students with their applications. 

Just as a reminder Dec. 1st is priority deadline for many colleges and Universities. Transcripts need to be postmarked before Dec. 1st, we will be closed for the Thanksgiving Holiday from Wed. Nov. 26th to Sunday Nov. 31st. Please encourage your student to at least request their transcripts, even if they have not finished their application, to be sent before Tuesday Nov. 25th. 


It's also Application Week. May the force be with me. 

PS: This is my last year of Nutcracker. I've done it every single year since I was eight. It's going to be emotional and so so sad. Feel free to come drop by and talk to me and convince me that life after high school will still be fun. (You're especially welcome if you bring chocolate)  I'm getting teary eyed already. 
Maybe someday I can be a party parent.
