Last day...hooray

And just like that, it's summer!   The boys have successfully transitioned from Vermilion Schools to Amherst seamlessly.  What a year we have had.  This year has be littered with new amazing experiences for the boys.  Making new friends, meeting new teachers, learning the new academic expectations, competing athletically with new athletes, and so much more.  As we sit back and reflect on the big decision of moving the boys we are without a doubt happy with the outcome.  We have found our place...a community that has the same academic goals, families we can lean on, and athletics we can support. 

Carter this year has been challenged by being placed into the advanced math course where he has finished the fourth grade curriculum and is half way through the fifth grade.  He has been a part of the "24" math game competition in Lorain county.  Him and his classmates placed 2nd at the Sphyro Olympics (a computer coding) event in the surrounding areas.  He has competed and won several races against his classmates during run club. 


Landon this year has made significant progress academically especially in writing.  This kid walks into a gym and you can hear kids call his name all over the place, like a celebrity.  He has been asked to play in a traveling basketball league with other fourth graders and is holding his own.  Landon is very driven by sports and I have to often peel him off the field/court against his will when they are locking the doors to the gym.


Nolan is my social butterfly.  Without hesitation this little guy has made friends of all ages and loved by any adult he encounters.  He has made academic growth but his interest does not lie there much.  He is just starting to get his bearings in sports and is unsure which one is his favorite. 


The future for these three boys looks bright.  Hang around and watch!
