Alex was asked by his Accelerated Studies teacher to be a part of the Academic Triathalon Team at school. This is a great opportunity for him to excel and learn more at school. They practice 2 days a week after school for 1 1/2 hours. Then, he will participate in 4 meets at other schools. I don't know a lot about it as this is new to us, but it sounds like there are several rounds to a meet. They have to answer questions, write essays and do what is called PARTY's. Don't ask me what it stands for as I can't remember, but it is a lot like putting in a short play.
This is very exciting as it is something new that Alex is getting in to. Hopefully he continues to have fun.

Update on Skating
Jordyn has now finished her 4 weeks of Intro to Hockey. Tomorrow she starts the "real" hockey season. Here we go!!!! At the last Intro to Hockey on Tuesday, Alex went out on the ice with Jordyn and Zach. They really liked having him there. Then Jenny, Alex's coach from last year, came to skate with Jordyn. Jordyn just loves to have Jenny around and was thrilled to skate with her. I think the only time Jordyn came off the ice was to change her helmet. After her ice time was done, it was time for Alex to go on for practice. Jordyn was so upset because she wanted to be on the ice more. She tried to sneak on the ice with all of Alex's teammates. Wouldn't that have been a shock for her!!!! Here is a picture that Jenny took of Jordyn that night. Thanks for the picture Jenny!!
