w has run in a couple of track meets (one was hosted by his school and one was the local hershey track meet). in the first one he ran the 4x100 relay and the 400. his relay team did well, and he won (by a long shot) his heat in the 400, coming in 2nd overall for his grade. at the other track meet, he ran the 200 and the 400. the 200 he did fine, but at the 400 he finished 1st overall for his age group. can i say there are few things that could make me more excited than a good track runner in the family! w discovered that he really likes running the 400, which is a tough race. hopefully, he will choose to do track as he gets older.
w getting the baton from his friend nathan. w was the anchor leg of the 4x100. 
w finishing the relay.
w with about 200 meters left in the 400. he did a really good job of not starting out too fast. that is a difficult skill to learn, but i talked with him about it before his race, and he really took it to heart.
w with several of his friends.

s was in a jack and the beanstalk play at school a few days ago. she played the part of a shepherd. it was obvious her teacher had put a lot of work into the play. the kids all did a wonderful job.
s with her daddy before the show.
two shepherds.
there was a lot of good singing and choreography in the show.
s with the lamb in her arms.
this was b's favorite number. this is where the goose (the girl in the white dress) sang about how she lays golden eggs. b compared this song to a smashing pumpkins song from the airplane flies high box set. as he said himself he was so enchanted by this song!
the closing number.

s and her favorite teacher ever: mrs. williams.
on the last day of school, we had the end of the year dance program where every grade performs a dance routine. this year, sierra's grade (2nd) did hawaiian dancing--the huki lau and another one. and w's grade (5th) danced to cotton-eye joe.
s is in the pink shirt and skirt.
s was a great dancer.
w definitely looked the part of a cowboy. he wore his own cowboy shirt and hat. 
w with some of his class chums.
