The latest Zane news

  1. You can have updated posts delivered to your email by putting your email address in the box to the right under the title, "Email Subscriptions powered by FeedBlitz". Very exciting! If you do this, you don't have to remember to look at the blog for updates!
  2. Zane's standardized testing scores came back from his Spring testing and he did AWESOME! Better than the Teton 401 School District averages and better than the State of Idaho averages for 8th grade for every test.
  3. THE TETON MUSTANG MIDDLE SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY TEAM HAS THE CHAMPIONSHIP MEET AT RIGBY POND ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. Go Mustangs!! I'll update pictures and results Friday night or Saturday.
  4. Zane's agreed to attend a National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) course next summer. He's been persuaded and I'm ecstatic. Zane will learn some outdoor skills from someone he will listen to! He's undecided about exactly which course he will take, they all sound great. Below are his choices.

Teton Valley

Rocky Mountains

It's a very expensive course and we're going to work many angles to pay for it. Zane's applying for 2 NOLS scholarships, Paul and I are saving money monthly and we've asked grandparents (with Zane's permission) to give money instead of presents for Christmas and his birthday. We've already got $1,100 of $5,000 ($1,000 is from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous at this time)! 20% paid!

This is what he might learn to do (again) at NOLS:
