Reeve's Swim Carnival

On Thursday, Reeve had his swim carnival at school. While Doug's parents blog has some even better pictures, you can get an idea of just how happy Reeve is when he is at school.



Doug had the opportunity to cut out of school (thanks to a colleague taking his class) and head over to Melawati (the location of Reeve's school) to enjoy the 2008 Swim Carnival.

From 10:00 - 10:45 the five prep-senior (kg) classes raced against each other. Freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke were all featured. The top two place holders received coins in their teams' buckets -- and in an amazing act of coincidence -- perhaps the first time in the history of the event -- ALL FIVE TEAMS TIED WITH 19 COINS! They all got to pose with the trophy and enjoy each other.

It was astonishing how every kid in prep-senior could swim across the pool, and maybe only 15% had the help of a flotation device.

Every time we have the chance to visit Reeve at school, we are overwhelmed at how happy he is at school. The kids were eagerly chanting for each other "Go Jake, Go. Go Jake Go!" as each of their peers would sing. What a great environment for kids.
