Awana Talent Show

Wednesday night we had a special AWANA.

A Talent Show!
So proud of all the kids for stepping out of their comfort zone and getting on the stage.

We had a lot of different enteries.

Art Work Presentations

Gymnastics

Jump Rope

Dancing

Singing

Piano

and then there was the COMBO presentation,
by Zion

Who couldn't just sing,
but sang with his foot behind his head.

Here it is: 
Adding to the Noise,
by Switchfoot







Academic Fair

I get the idea of a Science Fair,
not really sure if an Academic Fair is just a more generic display of school work.
Never heard of one before...........
ANYWAY,
It was on Wednesday night,
the same night as AWANA,
so I just popped into the cafeteria during the school day to see if the boys had submitted anything.

I only found things for Zion.
So, here are photos of his entries.


This mask was attached the poem below

Zion's Many Colored Days
by Zion Thornton

On bright brown days how good it feels
to be a monkey and jump from tree to tree.

On other days I'm other things.

On evil red days I slash my claws.

Some days of course, I feel sort of blue.
Then I feel sad and down.

Then come my black days.
I feel like kicking and slamming the door.
I growl.
I stab at every cloud.

But it all turns out all right you see
and I go back to being me








This is a book that Zion wrote and illustrated. 
The school had them published and it will remain in the school library.

Good job Zy!~

Swim meet

The swim season here on Guam is coming to a close.

Although, of all the sports the boys have been in, swimming on Guam doesn't end.

The weather is always "swim friendly"

So Zion will continue to swim over the summer months and improve for the fall 2011 season.

Here are a few photos of the swim meet today.

He took another 2 seconds off his 50 backstroke.

He is now right at a minute.

His 50 freestyle is down to 51 seconds.

Great job Zion!  B times are coming soon!  

Keep on kicking!
