Olive is 14!! This year has been one of tremendous growth! Olive continued rowing and had a great fall and spring season. She was awarded the 'Oarsmanship' award for her technique on the Middle School Girls rowing squad. Olive is thrilled to be moving up to Novice rowing this summer! Her happy place is definitely with her friends on the water. :)
Olive finished middle school at Wake Young Women's Leadership Academy on May 23. She has blossomed there and become so confident in herself and her academics. She feels lucky to have had such a small class, getting to know her teachers, and getting to do special things like go to DC for a field trip and being mentored through the Athena program. Olive spoke at the promotion ceremony and did a great job! Next year, for high school, she will be starting at Enloe High School, which is a Gifted and Talented Magnet high school in Raleigh.
Olive continues to love to read and has been into a lot of YA chick lit lately. We also listened to The Hunger Games and the Nyxia series to and from school with Leo this year. Life was different having Leo in school in Raleigh this year, and we did more carpooling and much less bussing.
