Jon's Graduation

I can't remember if I have mentioned Jon and his friends and their summer building. For years they have built tree huts and non tree hut every summer and then taken them all apart after to rebuild the next year. The first one was in two trees with a ramp leading up to the second room in the second tree. It had a zip line for an exit out of the second tree. This Swiss-Family-Robisnon type dwelling and zip line took up two different yards.

In the beginning of the 2008 school year these friends, who went to Granger and Hunter High schools, all signed up for Granite District's home building class. We went to the open house last week. What a great home. It is just east of 3rd East between 33rd an d 39th South; second house in on the south side of the street. What a fabulous opportunity for these kids! Angela was involved in the same thing in high school, only her part was the interior design. Looked great in both cases!

We are proud of Jon for his hard work completing four years of school in three. Jon (with a November birthday) has friends who are three months older but a year ahead in school. He decided in ninth grade that

he wanted to graduate with them, so the second semester of ninth grade he went on A days to junior high and on the B days to high school. He's been to summer school, done on-line classes, and earned work credit to make it possible for him to graduate. He plans on going to Utah State in the fall.

Congratulations to Jon!
