Happy New Year 2011

2011 has arrived. It has been a very cold winter this year!   Fuzuki has 3 more weeks of swimming on the school Team.  It has been a great experience for her and for our family. We have had a lot of fun supporting her at the swimmeets. Sometimes only Dad has been able to attend the meets. Other times we are all able to attend. Great progress has been made. I think Fuzuki spends more time in the pool than any other student. For Christmas, Santa brought her a new practice swim suit, and it has snowmen on it. It is so cute!!

Fuzuki is the one in the pink towel.

The Swimming Team is one of the very best experiences. This team encourages each other and roots for each other to do their best. It isn't about beating the other team as much as it is about improving yourself. If you do better than you did last week, then you are a winner!!  There just isn't a better group of students and they truly are friends to each other. What a great group of young men and young women!!

All remaining swimmeets are out of town. This week is Ogden, then Toolee next week.

Each week Fuzuki's times improve. That is all that is needed to be a real WINNER!!!

I would recommend the swimming team, especially at BEHS to anyone who is considering it. It is a great experience for the youth to be a member of this special group.  I believe in 3 weeks Fuzuki is going to really miss not being in the pool as often as she has been the previous semesters of school.  She has done awesome!! We are So Proud of Fuzuki and all that she is accomplishing!!!
