Celtic Thunder

In March we watched a concert by a group of 5 Irish singers called Celtic Thunder on our PBS station. I really enjoyed the show and was surprised that Jessie really enjoyed it also.



I was able to get tickets to their concert at the BOK Center in Tulsa and Wednesday November 19th, Jessie, her friend Kyla, Robin and I went to the concert. We enjoyed 2 hours of wonderful singing! Five different voices singing solos and beautiful harmony when they sang together. If you get a chance to hear them Jessie and I highly recommend them. It will be well worth the money!

Jessie


Jessie joined the FCCLA (Family, Career & Community Leaders of America)at school this year. Recently Jessie and her friend Beyla participated in the local FCCLA Illustrated Talk contest. They had to pick a subject, write an outline and the talk, make a power point presentation, memorize the talk and present it. The subject they chose was Youth Obesity. They did a lot of research and put together a very good presentation. We are very proud of the girls...they won first place and will be going to regionals in January and then hopefully on to State. We will keep you posted!
