The Primary Meets the Prophet!

Well, they learn all about him! The primary had a great activity where they learned all about our new prophet President Thomas S. Monson. They had lots of facts they learned along with fun games they played that taught them all about the fun and unique tidbits about President Monson. Here are some photos from the activity:

Cub Scouts meet Trees and Leaves at Pack Meeting

For this months Pack Meeting, Sis. Driggs and Sis. May arranged with Cub Master Bro. White a great night full of coloring and decorating family trees. The night ended with yummy sugar cookies decorated like leaves, but tasted much much better! Awards were postponed until next month. Also, we are still planning to plant a tree for the scouts, but are awaiting approval from the association. Here are some photos from the evening:


I spy some norton children working on their family trees!


I spy some Heller kids working on theirs too!
