There is lot going on as May turns to June. With the end of the school year approaching, there are many events scheduled to conclude the year and say goodbye to departing friends. Last weekend, it started with the TIS graduation. It also put into perspective that Nadia and I have only one more year with our middle son Oliver. We will savor the moments with him! He attended the ceremony to celebrate his friends. Next year, it will be him.
On Saturday, Oliver and Ocean had the final sports tournament of the school year. Both really like volleyball. The school arranged a 4-team tournament with local schools. Both Oliver and Ocean’s teams won all three of their games. The games were competitive and they played well. I am not a huge fan of volleyball, but today’s kids like it a lot, and my children are enthusiastic about it. That makes me want to be enthusiastic about it as well. It is better than gaming and they get another experience of being part of a team.
I end this post with a visit I made to Sarikol mahalla library. It is almost adjacent to our school, near a large apartment complex. The mahalla lacks funds and one of our students is looking for a service project. She is thinking of finding more books, furniture and fixing the place. It could be a youth community center with our students providing English lessons, art, etc.
