Track and Field

Jordan is only doing field events this year. Here he is throwing the shot put.
His distance is marked by number 4. He did pretty well at Winters High School
He also throws the discus. You can see the blue discus just as he releases in this picture.

Chatted with Josh last weekend. He is off to more training next month. He has leave from July 11 to August 1. Now to make plans. What to do? Any suggestions? He told Jordan that the snow has melted, he can see the ground, but that day it was raining.

Northern Section Champ!

Here he is as the Northern Section Champ! This was on February 16 in Gridley. Out of 14 wrestlers on a team, Sutter is sending 13 to the Masters in Redding February 21 and 22. Jordan is the 154 lb. champ. The Appeal-Democrat had a picture of 6 of the champs (4 from Sutter) and article about the tournament. His picture was one of those in the paper. Check it out online.http://www.advarsitysports.com/sports/finals_510___article.xml/won_nevarez.html

BVL Champ and MVP!

Jordan was first place in the 154 lb. weight class for the Butte View League! He wrestled Saturday, February 9 in Winters. His final match with the Gridley wrestler turned out to be the match of the day! Everyone was watching and cheering for him (except the Gridley folks). He won 9-5 or something close to that. He was also voted by the coaches as MVP! Quite an honor. He has worked and trained hard all season. This is a great and well-earned accomplishment.

Wall of Honor

This is the current wall at SUHS. Way back in November, I asked the principal if I could put up a Wall of Honor at the school. After asking around about grads that are in the military and getting pictures and information about them, I started putting the pics and info on these pieces of foam backing. Yesterday (Friday) the librarian cleared off one of her walls and helped to put this up. By Monday, I hope to have 3 more pictures to put up. There is a community meeting in the library that night and the librarian is anxious for that group to see the Wall.
Josh, the librarian is Alyssa's grandma. I did not know that. Alyssa is getting ready to transfer from Butte to Chico. One of the young gals that works in the office knew who I was but didn't realize you were in the Army. She had seen the Army sticker on the car. She is Jen, the girl who used to give you a ride to school when you missed the bus!

Movie Day

Today Julian came with me while I gave blood. He did his homework there and we both had a snack. We are home now. We have to go out to pick up more branches from the fierce wind the other night. Then, we are going to watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I have never seen that movie. He has seen it. I have not read the book, either. But, he has.

Wall of Honor

The principal of Sutter said I could put up a wall of honor. It will be a section in the school office that has pictures of Sutter grads that are currently serving in the military. All I need now is a 5x7 of Josh-portrait layout-to include on the wall. I have a couple but they are not portrait layout. If anyone has a picture of him in one of his uniforms, please email it to me and I will see if I can use it.
