Super Book Olympics

For the last six weeks the kids have been participating in the Super Book Olympics at our church.  Kids are divided into teams and points are awarded for such things as bringing your bible, completing your weekly worksheet and memorizing a bible verse.  At the end of each weekly event, the kids play some sort of fun race/game and the winning team has first chance to answer a question from that week's worksheet.  If the first team can't answer it then the second place team has a chance.  Points are tallied from week to week and the winner is determined at the "Closing Ceremonies". 

The fourth-grader's team was comprised of eight girls and two boys, how that happened, I don't know. 

Poor guys. 

Their team name was "The Chillers".  Each team made their own cheer, and I have to say that their cheer was pretty cute and loud.  Mostly loud.  Eight girls, what do you expect.

The seventh-grader is now too old to actually participate in the program.  Instead he volunteered to help.  He was the organizer's "right-hand man".  He loved it.  He would come home almost as excited as the fourth-grader. 

At tonight's closing cermonies there were medals and cake for everyone. 

I'm so thankful for those who put the time and energy into organizing these activities for our kids.

 Thank you, thank you, thank you!
