Grayson started 6th grade at Parkside Junior High a few weeks ago. It has been a much easier transition than I had expected. He really enjoys changing classrooms and teachers throughout the day. He also loves having choices for lunch in the cafeteria! It seems like he has great teachers too. He is on the "D-Team" this year. Parkside has 7 teams (P R K S D E) so the kids have a smaller group to get to know and they do fun stuff together. The school has a great website where the parents can see what the homework is every night and what he bought for lunch and what his grades are so far. It is also really cool that all the kids get their own laptop during the school year. Much of their homework is done on the computer. The kids do not have text books. Their textbooks are online! Grayson loves it!

Grayson has also joined the Cross Country team and is really enjoying it. They run 2 mile races during their meets. Today, for example, they are running in the East Peoria Invite in Peoria, IL so they get to ride the bus there and on the way home they will be stopping at Culvers to eat lunch. The season is just a few months long and they have about 6 or 7 meets. Grayson run two miles in about 17 min which I think is really good!
