Garrett’s Corner
We always get asked, “How’s Garrett doing?” so we thought we would give you a quick update on what he’s been doing.
In the spirit of Christmas and giving, Garrett’s 5th grade class participated in preparing a special day for a group of poor young children from the House of Blessing Pre-School. These children come from the slums of Chiang Mai. The 5th grade class invited them to come to spend a 1/2 of day at Grace International School for fun games, crafts, cookie decorating, story telling and at the end, each child received a special Christmas bag full of gifts. Each 5th grader was assigned a child to take care of - Garrett was sooooo excited about it, he couldn’t wait for the day to come. His little buddy’s name was Paradon and he was 4 years old. Insisting on using his own money, Garrett bought his little buddy the requested things for his Christmas bag: a t-shirt, school supplies and a little toy. What great memories it was for Garrett and Paradon.

When not in school, Garrett attends TaeKwonDo class at the local Korean center nearby our house. He recently passed his 2nd green belt test…we are so proud of him!

He also finished his 2nd year in the school’s basketball Rec League. Because he’s not the strongest of players, he hesitated at first to participate again this year, but with a little encouragement, he tried it again and really enjoyed himself! Way to go Garrett!
