More than 12,000 fifth and sixth grade students celebrated the 11th annual Prevention Dimensions Kids’ Day at Smith’s Ballpark on May 20. The event, organized by the Salt Lake Bees and the Utah State office of Education, promotes alcohol, tobacco, other drug and bullying prevention.
Superintendent Martell Menlove was one of three guests invited to throw a ceremonial first pitch of the game between the Salt Lake Bees and the Albuquerque Isotopes.
Sixth grader Lexi Walker delighted the crowd with her performance of the national anthem.
Other guests included First Lady Jeanette Herbert, who presented Supt. Menlove with a declaration proclaiming May 20, 2014, Prevention Dimensions Day.
Prevention Dimensions is Utah’s Safe and Drug-free Schools and Communities lesson set, which supports the Utah State Office of Education pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade health core.

As my Grandmother (Mama) ends her journey, I want to honor her with pictorals of lessons I have learned from her.
My love of rhinestones comes straight from my Mama. She used to have a HUGE collection of old costume jewelry and one of the biggest joys was to go visit and she would pull out box after box of old jewelry, encouraging me to make my "pile" of the pieces that I wanted. I still have much of the jewelry she gave me, although a home robbery, last year, caused a decrease in some of my favorite pieces.
I love you Mama.
My dad teaches Jack (...and me...) how to scramble an egg, getting the tongue-to-tip-of-nose part just right.

I had to take out my camera today to show all the traffic on the Concord Ave. Bike Track. That's three bikers in front of us!
And here's kind of a funny thing that Sue might enjoy - I took this photo of three complete strangers ahead of us, but before we got home, we had become friends with the woman directly in front of us. I started talking to her on a quieter road closer to home. She's from Amsterdam, teaches language, lives right near us, and now we might start taking Dutch lessons from her. Funny, eh? Just like that, another new friend.
"The Lesson" is a physical performance based on "Circle Mirror Transformation" by Annie Baker. The event took place at blackbox theater (american college of Greece)
