Jamie is chosen to be a Boyd Ambassador!! We are SO proud!!!
Fall Soccer
This is Jamie's final season in the U8 soccer division. He is such a good soccer player and scored many goals this season. Some teams actually coached their teams to double team Jamie, which was frustrating for him. He had fun, though, and I'm excited to watch him as he moves up to the next age level.

Flag Football
Jamie decided that he wanted to play football this year. He first wanted to play in the Tackle League but, at the last minute, decided to start out with Flag Football first. We figured it would be a great way for him to learn about football before getting too serious about it. He loved it! He was a great little running back and wide receiver...once he had the ball and took off running, there wasn't anyone who was fast enough to catch him!

Jamie caught the pass and took off running...
...by the time he got to the end zone, the closest defender was 20 yards back!
Playing both soccer and flag football kept us running! Jamie had football practices on Sundays, football games on Mondays & Wednesdays, soccer practices on Thursdays and soccer games on Saturdays. It was good for him to learn how to budget his time and get his homework done before all of the practices and games. I know that his sports schedules will keep us busy for many, many years to come!!Boyd Fun Run
September 24, 2010
This years Fun Run was dedicated to Peyton Sanchez and served as a fundraiser to help the Sanchez family. Peyton is the 4-year-old son of a friend of ours who has been diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis. NF has caused tumors to grow on Peyton's optic nerve so they are having to travel to Denver weekly for chemotherapy appointments. It has been amazing to watch our community come together to support the Sanchez family.
Jamie came in 9th place in the fun run...he was 9th place in both the fall and spring fun run's last year. He is consistent!
Fall Color Tour
September 26, 2010
We took off after church and headed up into the San Juan Mountains to see the fall colors. We wanted to go through Summitville and then come back through Alamosa Canyon but forgot our maps and couldn't find the road we wanted. We explored a little, 4-wheeled a little, backtracked a little and ended up in Del Norte. It didn't matter, the colors were absolutely gorgeous. The golds & reds of the aspens were amazing in contrast with the green pine trees and the deep blue sky.

3rd Grade Field Trip to Great Sand Dunes National Park
September 30, 2010
Mrs. Price's class and Mrs. Shioshita's class left the school at 8:30 and drove to the Sand Dunes for a day of fun in the sand and sun. The students were divided into groups and had a scavenger hunt, searching for clues and evidence of animal and plant life at the Dunes. Later, we met with two park rangers. One ranger did a presentation on the life cycle of a salamander and even had a salamander that everyone could hold (if they wanted to)! The next presentation was the 'Animal Olympics' where the kids attempted to test their skills against animal counterparts. They learned that many animals have extraordinary skills that help them survive in their environment. We ate lunch and then headed to the dune field to play!! The kids had so much fun rolling down the hills. Jamie was covered in sand and had sand in every hole & crevice!!

They had to be back at school by 2:30 for an assembly. This was Jamie's first opportunity, as a Boyd Ambassador, to carry the flag into the assembly. He was nervous but did a great job. I could tell that he was so proud of himself!!
This was a fun, but bittersweet, day for Jamie's class. They had a great time at the Sand Dunes but it was also Ashley's last day. Ashley's family moved to Bayfield and it was very sad to say "good-bye"! Jamie and Ashley have been friends since they were less than a year old...Jamie is only 2 weeks older than Ashley. There were lots of hugs and tears, Ashley will be greatly missed!
