September - Quarantines, School and Sports

 This month has been crazy. We started with the whole family in quarantine - no school, sports, friends or band. Luckily, We did get one full week of school in before the entire Alta High School went to online school because the COVID case count was too high. So, Since school started (a week late), our high schoolers have only been in actual school for one week, and next week is partial because the school doesn't reopen until Wednesday, and the week after is fall break. Wow, school definitely cannot be taken for granted! The one good thing is that during this most recent shut down, the kids still have been able to do their activities. And, oh boy, there have been a ton of games and such to go to. This fall, all the kids are playing for Alta! That is fun! We are trying to enjoy every minute because you don't know when everything will suddenly be shut down!

Performing for the home fans - this is Homecoming week, but kids can't go to the homecoming game, so this Thursday night the band had a chance to show their show.

Carson goes to Homecoming!

His date, McKenna Kunz asks him. This group is her friends plus Carson. The other couples are seniors, Carson and McKenna are Juniors.

McKenna plays on the Alta Soccer team - so Kate has met her.

Thanks to COVID, the Dance is actually just these three couples. Carson said it was a ton of fun.

What a fun night!
