A whole school year

It is three weeks into the summer and its my first time writing in a while.  The world is political and scary.  The boys continue to go on marches and meetings.  They still did baseball and karate, went to school, and now the two older ones are at Camp Mendocino.

Miguel finished his first year of middle school.  It was rough at first- hurt feelings, some scuffles, tears.  By March he got into a rhythm with Finley and a new friend Oliver.  They liked to get candy on Fridays, go play video games at the library and then hang out at Oliver's. 


Tonio ended a great academic year as Lisander in Mid Summer's Night Dream.  He did not always treat his female coaches well, which hurt me, but in general he had a great year.  His teachers, the Gomez's, loved him and brought out the actor, reader and writer in him.  He loved their classes and was truly excited about school.

Arrow had Mr. Arias- the greatest kinder teacher for Arrow.  Arias loved science and so does Arrow.  So Arrow saw a real heart and lung, grew food, sang songs, and grew as a person.  Best quote in a report card ever..."No stick is safe with Arrow around"  That boy does love his sticks.  He also goes by Jose Sauer.
