Ezra Taft Benson -

As a watchman on the tower, I feel to warn you that one of the chief means of misleading our youth and destroying the family unit is our educational institutions. President Joseph F. Smith referred to false educational ideas as one of the three threatening dangers among our Church members.

Pride and Prejudice




Shelby had the great opportunity to audition and receive the part of Miss Bingly in the Homeschool Theatre's production of Pride and Prejudice.

This was cast with all homeschoolers age 11-18 in the Utah County area. The kids practiced for 3 months and did an amazing job. They also held a garage sale to raise money. Moms were left to come up with costumes. Those like myself who don't sew relied on Ebay to get their hands on the perfect one. Shelby looked amazing on stage.

I would like to thank the Liechty's for this amazing opportunity for our kids. It was marvelously produced and a wonderful show.

The production was supposed to be performed at the Grove Theatre in Pleasant Grove. However, the night of the first show we found out the Fire Marshall had closed the theatre. There was a mad dash to find another place. Another auditorium was found and the show went on.

There are so many wonderful opportunities for our children. I am so thankful for the wonderful families that share their interests and talents with us.

Arrow of Light Recipient





Ricky earned his Cub Scout Arrow of Light this summer. They had the ceremony for him at the end of October. He had a lot of fun working on the requirements.

We are so proud of him. We love the Scouting program. It teaches young boys to respect themselves and others. It helps Ricky realize that his contributions to the world matter. One person can make a difference.

He is a great example to those around him. We can't wait to start working on Boy Scout badges!
