Big Changes for the Finishers!


The Finishers Read!

The boys have an official club T-shirt and a new motto: F3P. F3P is pronounced "F cubed P" and means Finishers have Faith, Focus and Perseverance.

The shirts must be earned (the boys have to prove they are Finishers by completing the summer assignment).

New October Book

Mari is happy to report that the Finishers changed their minds! Instead of reading Twilight for the October meeting, we will be reading Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz.




The September Meeting

The Finishers' back-to-school adventure was a trip to Radke's Orchard in Michigan City Indiana, where they enjoyed a couple of exciting tractor rides and picked apples and pears (sorry, no photos--the photographer was picking apples and pears, too). The boys agreed that the trip should be an annual event.

Then it was on to Denny's in Michigan City for lunch and a discussion of Gifted Hands, the autobiography of Dr. Ben Carson. Mari's sporting the new shirt; she finished the summer assignment!

Last, but not least:
Congratulations to "I" for making the school basketball team!!!
