15

THIS GIRL.

IS 15!

SHE IS WRAPPING UP HER

MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS, AND WILL

BE A SOPHOMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL NEXT YEAR!

HOW COULD THAT BE???

MY FAVORITE TIME WITH JAYCIE WAS WHEN
SHE WENT TO THE PRESCHOOL AT 
MY SCHOOL.
AT THE END OF MY HALL!
IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN!
JAYCIE WENT IN THE AFTERNOON.
ASHLEY PARKED BEHIND MY CAR TO BRING
HER AND PRESTON IN, TO SIGN JAYCIE IN.
IT WAS FUN WALKING BY AND PEEKING IN
TO SEE WHAT SHE WAS DOING!
MY STUDENTS LOVED HER, AND EVERY TIME
THEY SAW HER, THEY'D SAY, 
"HI, JAYCIE!"

ONCE IN AWHILE, WE'D STAY AFTER SCHOOL
AND SHE WOULD HELP ME WITH A PROJECT,
A BULLETIN BOARD, ETC.

I TOOK HER HOME EVERYDAY AFTER SCHOOL.
SOMETIMES WE'D GET A TREAT, 
SOMETIMES GET OUR NAILS DONE,
BUT ALWAYS SOOO FUN.
ON FRIDAYS, I MET HER MOM IN THE
PARKING LOT OF THE TEMPLE, SINCE
THAT WAS MY DAY TO WORK.
WHEN THE TEMPLE WAS CLOSED FOR
THE 2 WEEK CLEANING, WE'D HAVE
A LITTLE OUTING.

BIRTHDAYS NOW ARE DIFFERENT.

WE DO A PARADE TO THE BIRTHDAY PERSON'S HOME.

SOCIAL DISTANCING IS OBSERVED . . . FOR AWHILE.

EVERY AUNT, COUSIN, GRANDMA, GREAT GRANDMA,

AND GREAT AUNT WERE THERE.

ONLY AUNT KATIE (WORKING AT UTAH VALLEY) AND

KAI (HOME WITH DAD WHILE MOM WORKS) WERE THERE.

JAYCIE IS A DREAM CHILD!

SHE IS SOOO KIND, CONSIDERATE, AND HELPFUL.

SHE ALWAYS MAKES THE HONOR ROLL AT SCHOOL.

WHEN IS WAS STATE ADK PRESIDENT, THE CHAPTER

THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THE STATE CONVENTION

DROPPED OUT, JAYCIE ACTUALLY SPOKE AT THE

CONVENTION, BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE A TEACHER!

NO ONE IS A BETTER BIG SISTER THAN JAYCIE!

SHE IS ALSO THE BEST HELPER!

SHE IS AN EXACT CLONE OF HER MOTHER!!!

NO, AUNT ANN DID NOT PARK THIS WAY!

I HAD TO DELIVER HER GIFT LATER,
BECAUSE IT WAS SLOW IN COMING.
EVERY SOPHOMORE NEEDS A SCH0OL SHIRT
WITH HER GRADUATION YEAR ON IT!
