HOPE YOU HAVE A "WHOPPER" OF A YEAR!

Three of my great niece's were helping me to get ready for school.  We went to Walmart to buy some supplies.  We walked by a display of the boxes of movie candy.  My great niece, who is going into 1st grade, said:  "Have a Whopper year!  We all thought this would make a great treat to give out at the open house!  We called her mom to see if she could print it out. Her family, including my oldest nephew who filled the bags, put them together!

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE TREAT!

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

I am experiencing technical difficulties with my blog!

First, they changed the format on how you make a blog post.

Next, they made it so I can't change my background.

Then, my computer CRASHED !!!

And to top it off...I my camera broke! 

It's easier to buy a new one...and cheaper than getting it repaired.

My new camera is like my old one...except it is blue, and holds more pictures!

Hopefully, I can get all of my problems solved soon! 

ANOTHER PROUD MISS MITCHELL MOMENT!

This is Eric Aufhammer.  He was my student in 1982-1983.

And who is he with?

None other than the 

President of the United States!!!

Thanks for your service, Eric!!! 

RIP, CHRISTIAN

Share This Page

1971 ~ 2012
Christian was born on April 1, 1971 in Washington D.C. to John and Dixie Groscost. He passed through all the usual benchmarks of childhood. Legos. Erector sets. Computers. Cars. Motorcycles. He loved them all. Taking things apart to see how they worked was one of his passions, and a passion he carried with him into adulthood.
Chris graduated Magna Cum Laude from Weber State with a B.S. in Computer Science. He was off and running. He went through a couple entry-level jobs and finally landed at Harman Music Group as a software engineer. Chris worked on projects, large and small. He was widely respected by his colleagues and his clients. When Chris undertook a project, you knew it would be done right. He was the quintessential audio engineer - Harley, ponytail, nose-ring and all.
Chris was a proud geek from day one. If it wasn't rational, he wouldn't accept it. He had an endearingly low threshold for B.S. You could always count on Chris to tell it like it is. He was a provocative thinker with a heart of gold. A sensitive man clad in black biker leathers. Our beloved enigma.
Dixie Lee has put her handsome prince to rest for the last time. Christian Kimball Groscost was laid to sleep on April 20th 2012 preceded by his father John and his step-father Grant. Chris was the most incredibly intelligent, sensitive, and compassionate person this world has ever seen. He left an indelible impression on all who knew him. He was proudly unconventional and lived his life with honesty and devout skepticism. His mother Dixie, wife Cinnamon, brother Pat (Kelly), sisters Erin (Chris) and Juliana (Travis), son Mikkel and step-daughter Chloe will miss him more than words can tell. His Harley will forever stand as his representative to remind us all how fresh air and speed can cleanse ones soul. He was truly one of a kind. Born to this world to be taken too soon. We love you Chris. Rest in peace.
A memorial service will be held for Chris on Friday, April 27th at 2:00 P.M. at the Larkin Mortuary located at 260 East South Temple Street in Salt Lake City, Utah.

THE GREAT UTAH SHAKE OUT

On Tuesday, April 17, our school participated in the 

GREAT UTAH SHAKE OUT

The entire state was to participate in  an earthquake drill at 10:15 a.m.

This is what our classroom looked like

CPR WITH UVU

On Friday, April 6, we had 2 nursing students visit us from

Utah Valley University

Their teacher was Miss Wayman's mother.

 The students went in pairs to teach in the classrooms.

We had a great time with our students (and "Ressusa Annie")...and we learned a lot!
