Fall schedule is in full swing here for the Gonzos!

Day #4 is almost at a close.

Michaela is now in the Middle School for 6th grade. She loves the change of pace. Switching classes, hanging out with friends at their lockers, after school volleyball practices. She tried out for the Jr. High volleyball team. We will find out today if she made it. We heard that they are only taking two 6th graders on. So we'll see??? If not, she will survive. She is playing her flute again in the band. Very busy girl!

Grant is in the 5th grade. Big man on campus at the elementary building. I guess that's really cool. He decided to continue taking piano lessons because he really likes playing. He starts next week with a new piano teacher. He is excited to get back at it. He is also playing up on the Jr. High boys soccer team. They were lacking a couple players so they invited some of the younger guys to help out. He has been sleeping well this week after having tough Jr. high practices every day :)

Brooklyn is a proud 1st grader at GCS this year. She was excited to bring home 3 happy grams so far this week! If you know her at all you would know that we are very thankful for 3 of the HaPpy Grams :)

Ben is teaching once again a variety of classes involving 6th-12th grades. Last year was good but this year started off even better! He is thrilled at the number of students wanting to be in choir. Several have even made some changes in their class schedules to be in choir. That is very encouraging for him! He is currently busy coaching Jr. High boys soccer after school. Their first game is on Tuesday. We are looking forward to going down to Rochester Hills for that game.

Church continues to go very well. We count it a privilege to serve God at North Flushing Baptist Church! When we are not at school or home you will find us at the church. There is always music to file or find along with making calls on our youth. We have some exciting activities planned for the teens in September. We are looking forward to: Round Up Day on the 8th (which includes Burst the Balcony for the teens), Comic Book wars on the 14th, Harvest Fest on the 28th.
