Joey

Joey is 11 years old. He just finished the 6th grade and will be attending Junior High in the fall! Time sure flies!

This school year was a little bit of a struggle for Joey. He has a November birthday and in a lot of districts would have been in 5th, not 6th, grade. The year didn't start out good but he worked very hard with his teacher, a tutor, Bob and me and managed to get all B's and one C with no late or missing assignments. He is really looking forward to this fall. He will have a math class, four languages, phys ed., technology, a literacy class, and social studies.

Joey is very athletic and quite the soccer player. He has been playing on the team he is on for about 3 years now. They are suppose to be playing in the U11 bracket but have been playing U12 this season for a little competition. Right now they are tied for first place! The kids on his team are great kids and they all get along so well. The parents are all really great too! Joey is hoping to play soccer in college when he's older. A scholarship would be nice! Then on to the pros if possible ;).

Joey loves working with kids and hopes to be a coach for either soccer or football and/or a phys. ed. teacher when he gets older.
