Mrs.Gadberry

 I graduated from BYU. 

This is my 4th year teaching.  I taught two years in the younger grades and two in fifth grade.

 I grew up in Beaverton, Oregon.  Growing up, I was one of four children. Now, it's just me and my new husband in our little family!  We got married in January 2015 and are loving life!  

The First Grade students at Orchard Hills Elementary performed their annual Christmas Program. They performed during 2 slide shows and performed a wonderful instrumental with sticks and bells to the tune of Toy Soldiers, they sang many Christmas tunes and were delightful to listen to.

Today was the annual Christmas Sing-a-long.  What a fun way to get in the Christmas spirit!  All the kids had so much fun singing!  Merry Christmas!!

Sixth graders at Orchard Hills performed the play "A Christmas Carol."

Here the preschoolers are putting on Santa beards and shaving them off!  So fun!

Ho Ho Ho!

 This year's theme was: "Let your Imagination Fly." Here are the kids who won awards:

On Tuesday, December 9th the Orchard Hills Cougar Choir and Orchestra presented a Christmas concert to the school and later that night to our parents.  We played and sang Christmas songs.  The students have been working very hard and did an amazing job.  Everyone felt just a little more Christmas Spirit that day!  Thanks to Tammy Drager, Kathy Kelley, and Lea Knotts for putting the concert together.  Merry Christmas to all!
