Olympians

On Thursday Amanda had 6th grade Olympics, and when you are in 6th grade this is a BIG DEAL! It's a two day event filled with competitions and a lot of fun. Amanda was part of Team Bahamas. They started with opening ceremonies where all the countries paraded their athletes around the track, just like the real Olympics...well kinda.





Amanda competed in four events. The high jump, the long jump, the 400 and the 4X100 relay. Here she is getting ready for her first race, the relay.

Between events they watched other events and played games.

On Thursday night we also attended Sam's 4th grade Reading Olympics ceremony. All the fourth graders received a medal based on how many pages they read in a ten week period.
