We had some downsides as well, when Vyom got 6 stitches close to his eyebrows while playing basketball during recess. This injury just healed and was followed by another incident in school where he fractured his collar bone. It was tough 3 weeks where he had to skip all sports but during this time, he spend a lot of time on chess.
Vyom is excited to be now starting 5th Grade at Harker School!
We are truly very proud of your achievements and we love your "Try your best and leave the rest" attitude!!
