You might be wondering how Eric is adjusting to middle school, especially since he went in not really knowing anyone.
Well, the first week he tried out for the school play (Into the Woods) and was one of only two Grade 6 students to be cast. He's playing Cinderella's father--not a big role, but big enough for one of the youngest kids in the school.
The first month, he took up the baritone saxophone--one of the biggest instruments in his school band--and discovered that he loves it!
Band has been his favorite class this term, and the Grade 6s played their first concert last week. So fun to hear the beginner band again with all the squeaks!
Early in October, Eric ran for student council with a new friend ... and won. He and his friend are the Grade 6 reps, meeting every week with the student body presidency and other grade reps to plan school events.
Then, at the end of October Eric received an award for his kindness to others.
He has also become an "adopted little brother" to all of Alaina's friends :).
Not bad for the first few weeks!
He still really misses all his elementary school friends, but he's definitely getting used to being a middle schooler.
