End of the School Year

Austin finished up elementary school with a bang. At the 4th grade graduation, Austin got called up 3 times for special awards. He received a librarian award for reading Bluebonnet books both 3rd and 4th grade, a PE award for good sportsmanship and athleticism, and a trophy for the Broadway award (displaying good character), which only 9 kids were selected for. He received an award for all As, and if the specials typing teacher would have given out an award, Austin for sure would have received that one as well. He can type faster than his typing teacher! (He averages 81 wpm.) Two kids in each class got called up for the highest averages for the Principal's award; we were both surprised he wasn't called up for that--he must have just missed the top two spots, but he was happy with all the recognition. He's a smart cookie, but most importantly, he is one of the kindest humans I know!

With his teacher Mrs. Gorman. Also sporting his new smile; he got braces on March 16th.

Austin went with his cousin, Morgan, to a Rockets game, and they were thrilled they ended up on the Jumbotron

One of the celebrations at the end of the year for Carter was his tennis banquet. As a sophomore, Carter played in the starting line up all year and worked his way to line 1 doubles by the end of the year. He has a 5 UTR in doubles. Next year, he should have more opportunities to play singles and hopes to continue to improve his UTR.

The varsity team

Carter was thrilled to be selected as a team captain for next year, selected for his leadership, positivity, and encouragement of his teammates.

I do a piano recital every May. Austin played Lean on Me and Cossack Ride. Bryson played Pachabel's Cannon and He's a Pirate. They played with feeling and had both their pieces memorized.
