The Growing Caldwell Family

Sarah Graves had fun being part of the marching band! She became good friends with several girls in the color guard and got to know band members better.  The band traveled to most away games and the bus time was fun and she learned a lot about the school from the other kids! In addition to the games, they also competed in a band competition and took hom second place overall and first place for their category!  We all enjoyed going to home games to watch the band perform! Wolfie, their mascot, visited them in band class! It was truly Friday night lights for us and we had fun with it! There was also a fall band concert where we enjoyed hearing them play inside.  They played at the Smyrna Veterans' Day celebration and did a fantastic job! It was really cool that Ms. Kim and Jono were there to hear her play! Ii'm proud of her for having the courage to join band when she wasn't sure if her playing would be good enough, for learning to march and play her instrument, and for mak...

Sarah Graves spent a week getting familiar with marching and playing, learning the pieces for their halftime show, and making friends.  It was very hot and she passed out a couple of time while practicing on the field. I think it scared her to feel the world swimming around her and not be able to keep herself up.  The first practice game was before school started and we got a sneak peek at their show. 

In his second year playing clarinette, we are so proud of how much Charlie has learned! They sounded great and had fun doing it! Lovie consistently joins Charlie for lower school chapel and it was only fitting that we get a picture of them in her pew.  Ziggy is such a good friend to Charlie! After being at St. B's since just before he turned three, Charlie knows no other school and has always had a big sister there with them. I am thankful that they will take the leap to a new school together!  There have been so many great people at St. B's who have helped to mold him and guide him to be an awesome kid!  

Lovie is consistently there to cheer on the kids and we had to get a picture of her in what is her pew at chapel! They sounded great! Receiving her acknowledgement for hard work in band.  We have had so many good times at St. B's and wanted to memorialize their time here together. So many great teachers, staff, and families who have molded and shaped them all for the better.   

 This was the week for music performances! Charlie and SG both performed in their service.  5th grade band did a few numbers  Biggest fans! My sweet guy happily joined me for a selfie.  Lovie is the steady chapel attender, always there for them.  Back for round two! They treated us to the Nutcracker Suite - such a fun surprise! Love this girl so much! Sarah Graves and her Lovie She did a great job reading a lesson! Sarah Graves likes to remember that her name was included!  It was fun to see the differences and experience Lessons and Carols services two days in a row. Grateful I could be there to see both kids shine!
