Beauty and the Beast

Wow - What a performance!Brittany Hill Middle School performed the musical Beauty and the Beast this past weekend.  Friday during school hours they performed for the other 7th and 8th graders, Friday and Saturday evenings they performed for the public and Monday morning they had their final performance for the 6th graders.

 Lizzy played three different characters and done a wonderful job at each one of them.

They had a sold out show both evenings that it was available for the public and she had lots of family and friends there to support her each night.  I think I can speak for most - it was an incredible performance!

Bears Football Season

Kendall had a wonderful football season and I wanted to put together a movie clip of his season highlights.  They ended the season at 5-2 just losing the last regular season game to the Wildcats and then after a first round bye week in the playoffs they lost to the Lions. I was so proud of all of them this year, it was so cool to see how they all grew up so much and really learned the game of football. What a team effort.

Go Bears!

Tactical Dispatch Training

I recently had the opportunity to attend a Tactical Dispatcher Certification class in Papillion, Nebraska to prepare myself for my role as Tactical Dispatcher with the Blue Springs Police Department STAT Team.

We had the chance to learn procedures for assisting the tactical team on High Risk Search Warrants, Hostage Situations, Active Shooters along with running a Command Post for all major incidents.

Twelve dispatchers from the Omaha area and myself were certified after the class.  We spent three days in the classroom and finished the class with a day doing live scenarios utilizing the Sarpy County Tactical Team.

Marching Band...?

Could Marching Band be in Lizzy's future?
The Blue Springs Golden Regiment, a band that I have looked up to since I was in
Jr. High Marching Band?  Possibly... we'll just have to wait and see.

The Brittany Hill Middle School Band had the opportunity to march at the Blue Springs Wildcats vs. Lees Summit Tigers Football pregame with the Golden Rigiment earlier this year.  A High School Band that has a long standing tradition of being not only one of the best programs in the area but in the midwest.  We will see if she decides to choose to be involved in Cheerleading or Marching Band in the next few months.

Either way, we were very proud of her on her marching debut.
