hoopin' singin' bee

austin has been super busy this past month with a variety of activities. first of all, he made the starting five players on the "a" team in 7th grade basketball (top ten of 60 who tried out). woo hoo! he has been practicing either before or after school for 2 hours, in addition to keeping up with school work. austin also tried out and made honor choir (one of three 7th graders to make the 7th & 8th grade choir). they recently traveled to ark city to participate in an all day training session with a guest director, followed by a concert. finally, he made it into the geography bee at school among 6th, 7th & 8th graders (go figure...not sure where he inherited those skills). luckily, he made it through round three, before exiting. the fifth round discovered a winner. we are extremely proud of austin and his accomplishments this semester!
