You began your fifth grade year at SHMS. Instantly finding friends and enjoying your new school. Your teachers, Mrs. Saylor and Mrs. Craig find you to be kind, empathetic and quite funny. I know the school is more rigorous and a big change… But I’ve been so proud of your ability to adjust, to learn new things, and to be challenged.
You have joined the chess club and are thoroughly enjoying it. You even competed in your first chest tournament… You learned a lot about the game. You also came away with a few victories and a few ties. Perhaps though, the highlight was your ability to dunk the basketball in between rounds out back!
You competed in your first Ozaki Cup for Team Kentucky. It was a special weekend in Rome, Georgia, where I was able to watch you play tennis and be your coach. You loved cheering on your teammates, playing, doubles with friends, and realizing more about the game of tennis.
We also were able to enjoy a weekend in Peachtree, Georgia, where you were invited to a National Southern camp that I was able to coach. Perhaps my favorite moment from the camp was when I looked over to see that you were leading your team’s chawed~ Team Big Ben {Shelton}. To see the confidence and leadership in your eyes was such a gift!
You continue to work hard on the tennis court. You continue to work hard and navigate academics. You continue to love your family. And you continue to be empathetic to others in the world around you. My hope for you Son, is that you will always be true to yourself!
I love you!
Love,
Mommy
