Welcome Back to School

One of the reason why we decided to take the kids to school was because of Jason Zimmerman. Jason, "Mr. Z", received the 2004 Provo School District Educator of the Year.

In 2006, Mr. Z received a Milken Educator Award. This is no small accomplishment. The Milken Family Foundation gives out $25,000.00 to the top 100 educators in the Nation every year. He probably won the award because he is a demanding and caring teacher. Here is Mr. Z's teaching philosophy;

I'm going push you. I'm going to make you the best students that you can be. I want you to realize that by doing that you become something greater then you already are. If you ever give up on trying, then you have really lost. But if you don't, and you keep trying and do your best, then it will eventually work out. It may not happen today or tomorrow, but it will eventually work out.

Mr. Z is T-y's teacher this year. I am very excited for T-y to be in his class. I am also a bit apprehensive of the challenges that will be coming T-y's way.

Bre has two teachers this year. Mrs. Wood in the mornings, and Mrs. Anderson in the afternoons. She is really excited for school because she will finally be able to eat school lunch. Our neighbor is one of the school lunch ladies, so hopefully she will give the best quality hotdog to Bre for lunch.

I don't have any pictures of Amanda, as I haven't been able to get any of her. I think that she became allergic to me when she started middle school.
