Brandon had his first year of EXCEL this year and he loved it! It was such a great experience for him and just gave him that much more to add to what he was already doing at school. This year the third grade emphasis in EXCEL was Greece. Everything that they did revolved around Greece. Greek architecture, Greek Gods, Greek food, the Olympics (which made him really interested in the Olympics in February), anything and everything Greece. He says he is a Greek expert and even wrote a paper on it in his regular classroom. Their culminating project for the year was a play that they did on April 28th. It was called "Queen Midas and the Golden Touch". Brandon was a behind the scenes guy. He did the smoke machine and also created some of the power point on the project. He was originally cast as one of the Gods, but decided he didn't want to get up in front of everyone and would be more comfortable behind the scenes. He did a great job and really enjoyed himself. It was a cute play and a fun night. Way to go Brandon!

If he enjoys Greek mythology he should read the Percy Jackson and The Olympians books series. I read them last summer and they are very good. Tyler and Shannon also really likes them.
thats so much fun...when you're ready to go to Greece I've got friends there and you could probably stay at their place...
I keep feeling amazed at how old Brandon looks. He is very handsome!
