As the year winds down, nothing around the school seems to slow down. The weeks and weekends are full of sports, student awards, socials, speeches, and all sorts of other “S” worded events.
Let’s see, today is Wednesday. Today there is volleyball practice and Susan’s after school activity, Tuesday were schoolwide meetings and a speech by an ‘expert on expats,’ Monday was the middle school student achievement awards, Sunday was the farewell party for the elementary school principal, Saturday was volleyball practice, broken computer fixing day, a middle school dance, and the cinco de mayo party…
And Friday was the ASB Swim Gala. One of the benefits of attending a school in a hot climated area is the accessibility of a pool. We’ll use the little one at our building sometimes, and come to the bigger one at school as well. The kids get year round access to it, and swimming is part of the PE curriculum, so they are turning into true water babies. So in celebration of all the water centric activities at the school, Friday was dedicated (in the elementary school) to a swim gala, where the kids rotated among events such as relay races, slaloms, obstacle courses, and ring diving.
Alea and Breck were super participants (and were wiped out when they got home!). It was a lot of fun for the parents to attend, stand in the shade, and watch the kids show off all the great moves they’d learned.
