was Student of the Month at least once every year in Smith Elementary. We, teachers, love that she gets along with everybody. If there is someone new, shy, or struggles with friendships Audrey is our go-to girl to sit with them. Her ability to make others feel comfortable is amazing at her age and we frequently hear positives from students and adults alike complimenting and appreciating her. She gives wholly to everything she does, it doesn’t matter if it’s sports or academics. She has a big, huge smile and a great attitude! When asked what makes her unique, Audrey immediately chose her personality and that she tries to be kind to everyone. Her parents are so proud of her and impressed by her willingness to help others. She is such a good person and not afraid to be an individual or to stand up for what she believes is right, even if she stands alone. They also love her passion for music and soccer! Thanks Audrey and congratulations!!
Fowlerville’s Landen Blixt performs perfect score in gymnastic state meet Fowlerville’s local gymnast Landen Blixt competed in a State meet at the Lake Fenton High School on Saturday, March 23. He scored a perfect 12.0 on both the rings and parallel bars, helping him get six gold medals and one silver, as well as winning the meet.

Spring break, a new home & more By Jordan Fuller Spring Break! I might be the only person that doesn’t mind this cold weather in March. Last year was horrific when it was already mid 80’s and just never stopped until October. I have hope for this summer that it won’t be sweltering hot and maybe I won’t be crazy! Our Webberville Spartans have been busy just being plain awesome. Our boys are in a hundred different awesome sports teams at once. Ezra started Varsity baseball –we have not had anyone play baseball above the rec level - Leo just finished 8th grade basketball, Oscar finished 5th grade basketball where his team went undefeated and took first in the tournament and Abram is almost graduated from his swim lessons and will join the Goldfish rec swim team. Let’s not forget Daisy who is a self taught cheerleader for all those games/events we watch! The always fun dodge ball tourney was last weekend where Oscar’s team, Dream Team and Leo’s team, Average Joe’s took first. Abram played for the first time and right away it was Oscar against Abram. We enjoyed the High School Musical and 101 Dalmations shows, the kids got on that stage and spelled their hearts out at the spelling bee, the Webberville Bands did awesome at festival AND our Webberville FFA chapter was named first in the state! March is crazy but I love being a Spartan! Somewhere in all this chaos we bought another house. A beautiful big glorious farmhouse that has been owned by Joe’s Grandparents for the last 50 years. It holds many memories and we cannot wait to start making our own in it. We will add on/renovate it and turn it into our dream home. Hopefully before Ezra graduates! I catch myself staring into space and fantasizing about things like an island or a huge kitchen sink or a mudroom. Ahhhhhh. It’s shameless self-promotion time for me again. I came across a brand spanking new company that I couldn’t resist and here I am a designer for Origami Owl. They have the most beautiful lockets that you can make your own. Check out www.jordan.origamiowl.com and see for yourself. They are just so cool and gorgeous. Things that I should have been mad about but I thought were funny: • -Leo drinking out of a massive glass jar of applesauce with a straw • -Oscar filling out Abram’s Valentine’s for the school party so he could play the X-box. • -Oscar and Abram trying to talk to me about the Skrillex goat remix they saw online while we are in mass. • -Leo throwing a plain bitten tortilla out of his bedroom at Abram who was sitting in the living room minding his own. I’ll leave you with this vision – I went in to kiss Daisy goodnight and she was sleeping with a pair of underwear on her head. There was a leg hole on her forehead. My kids are just going to love that I write this article!
