Thomas got accepted to the International School of Beaverton

International School of Beaverton

Thomas is really excited because he just got accepted to the International School of Beaverton this fall. We can't believe he will be in middle school already!

According to the school website, ISB opened in September 2006 and currently serves students in grades 6-10. It will add an additional grade each year, ultimately becoming a 6-12 school in 2009. ISB is a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IB MYP, grades 6– 10) and an Applicant School for the IB Diploma Program (grades 11–12). ISB offers Chinese, Japanese and Spanish and emphasizes the importance of a global education and understanding and responsible citizenship. The curriculum focuses on the skills of learning how to learn, question and communicate. ISB also embraces intellectual rigor, intercultural respect, and service to the local and world communities.

He is excited to learn Spanish and the fact that a couple of his neighborhood friends will be attending also. Congrats Thomas!

Ben's "Crazy Breakdown" Dance

Ben loves to dance and he really has a "style of his own." He calls it crazy bread down and I think it is a mix of "crumping", " break dancing" and some "hip hop" all mixed in together. He did a similar routine at his school talent show, which surprised his parents and siblings a lot... we are waiting for him to get his beanie and start spinning on his head :)

Brandy's Baptism

Brandy got baptized on May 3rd and it was a great day. Her aunt Summer and all her family came to share the special day with her. She was beaming and sang a beautiful song during the services.
