Welcome
to Scotty's Christmas page. Scott just
had his 9th birthday in November and went
bowling with his friends to celebrate. He
sure has grown!

School. Scott
was accepted this year into the 4th grade
Everett School District Highly Capable program
at View Ridge Elementary. His new class is
a lot more challenging (something that Scott
really needed) and, although he had to leave
some friends behind, a lot better suited for
Scotty. Although, he is a year younger
than the rest of the class (a fact that escaped
his teacher until conferences last month), he
has been leading the class in his Accelerated
Reader goal this year. He is currently
reading at the 9th |
|
grade reading
level and is thinking about moving up since he
has already mastered that. He just started |

Social
Studies, learning about the Pacific Northwest
and is also learning about division, area and
perimeters and other math subjects. |
Cub Scouts. This year, Scott is
working on his Webelos and Arrow of Light badges
in Cub Scouts. He worked at a food bank,
went caroling at a nursing home and helped dig
up some trees that were going to be cut down |
|
all in the past
month alone! Also, in the past year, he
earned his Parvuli Dei Medal (A Catholic
religious recognition) becoming the first in his
family to do so. He was recognized along
with other recipients at St. James Cathedral in
May in front of hundreds of scouts, parents and
supporters. Last year, he attended lots of
other service projects, campouts and other fun
Cub Scout stuff! Click here

Church. In April, Scott will
receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and
Reconciliation. He has been going to
"Church school" for the past year |
and a half to prepare
and been going to Church almost every Sunday
with his dad. He looks forward to becoming
an altar boy when he graduates from 4th
grade. He says his prayers every evening
and, quoting Scott, "I cannot eat without
praying first."
Home. Scotty likes to build with
Legos and K'nex and been spending a lot of time
in front of the TV. He hasn't started
blowing up the garage yet, but if he had the
chance, |
|
he would be in there
with his mess of chemicals trying to find a cure
for cancer! |

Scott's
Christmas Message |
Dear Family,
I love you very much. Don't forget, the meaning of
Christmas is not the tree, the lights or the presents,
it is about family and Jesus' birth. I wish I
could have Christmas with all of you. Have a very
merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Love, Scott
