Yeah!!!

This is really a bit of a bragging post so if you don't want to hear about my kids and their accomplishments then stop reading now!

All of my kids received their report cards and they all did incredibly well. Katie and Cole's report cards don't really have grades but they received the equivalent. They were also in advanced programs in their respective schools. Connor received a 4.0 all four quarters (including pre-algebra) he was in the 6th grade. Andrew also received a 4.0 for all 3 trimesters (including geometry) he was in the 8th grade. I am so proud of their academic achievements. Connor and Andrew received several awards at their respective schools for academics, citizenship and attendance.

This past week Katie and Cole have been involved in a British Soccer Camp. They worked with 3 coaches. Two were from England and one was from Scotland. They had a blast. Their teams came in 1st and 2nd in the "World Cup" competition at the camp. Katie was the youngest player in the older group. The teams were mixed in ages and genders. They were on teams of 5 kids. Katie's team was England and Cole's team was Brazil. They both had many goals, blocked shots and saves as goalie.

Andrew has been in a basketball camp this week. During this camp they selected 2 teams to take to some summer camps. They chose to take 18 incoming 9th graders and split them into two teams. Andrew was one of the 18 chosen. The coaches have stated that this will not guarantee them a spot on the school team in the fall. But it is a great opportunity to work with the coaches and for them to see you play. Last year I believe 11 of the 13 chosen for the freshman basketball team were selected to go to the summer camps. We are excited for him to have this opportunity. FYI Andrew was in the top 2 of 2 competitions and the winner of 1 competition throughout the week.

Connor has just registered for football that will begin in Aug.. So I will let you know more about his accomplishments at a future date.
