This summer, Asher had an incredible experience while at camp. The team from NPR’s Planet Money podcast visited the camp for a full week, interviewing many of the campers. Asher was interviewed multiple times and was thrilled to be a part of it. He eagerly waited for the episode to air, and the excitement when it finally did was unforgettable!
It’s such a proud moment for us, and we’re excited to share this milestone with you. Here’s the episode—give it a listen and hear Asher’s voice in action!

A First Resume for Junior Achievement BizTown
Asher is getting ready to participate in Junior Achievement’s BizTown. The educational program is designed to immerse children in a simulated economy where they act as workers, consumers, and citizens.
The students at BizTown will take on various jobs, manage finances through activities like banking, and learn about the dynamics of supply and demand. They also develop essential soft skills like communication and teamwork, crucial for future career success.
Last year he was the CEO of POA and he tells us he’s going for CEO, CFO and Bank Teller at Unitus Credit Union. Wish him luck! 🙂
Below is his resume he’s bringing to the interviews.
Asher dressed up
The last day before Holiday break at Sunnyside was dress up or dress down day. Asher let us know he wasn’t going to dress down and wear PJs like many of his classmates, he wanted to dress up. He wanted a white shirt and a blazer. This is the finished product 🙂

Soccer Shots
It was fun being in soccer shots beginner level. Level 1 was really easy. I passed every time, every whole week class. Every week for about 5 times. On the last day, you might see if you look in closely, a medal. I got that for my soccer shots class. We might post a picture of the medal. It was really fun doing it. It was fun.
We bought a pair of bigger goals so we could have me practice for the next level.
Asher’s first day of school!
Asher’s first day of school was a day I’ll always remember. From a parents perpective it’s setting the child up for their learning career. We looked at all the possibilities; from the neighborhood school, to charters, to privates and felt sending him to Lemond French Immersion would be a good choice; learning French and Spanish, the size of the school, the location, we’d heard the reputation was very good.
Asher bounds out of the house in his uniform, with his backpack on, packed with his essentials, and I capture these pictures. You don’t always remember the expression on a face when you take it – it’s one of many aspects to capture, but boy did he have an excited expression on his face the first day of school!
That enthusiasm continued from the house to school. We were given instructions that the parents can’t come into the school and that the door opening would signal it was time for the kids to go into the school. I thought there could be some transition time, another hug, maybe I’d say you’ll do great and I hope you have a great first day. But that is not what happened. I let him know the doors are open and you can go ahead and go into the school. In my eyes it was the unknown for him. He just turned to me and said, ok, bye(!) and ran up the steps, through the doors and he was gone.
It was a very proud moment. A glimpse of the boy he will be and the man he will grown into being.
