I can say all the good things about Maxwell and it won’t even come close to accurately describing him. He’s just…the best. He’s thoughtful and responsible and smart. He’s a natural leader and that skill is being developed more and more within scouts and football and school. I can always count on him – to help, to do the right thing, to make the best decision he can make, to be kind. He works so hard at school and sports and isn’t afraid to put in the time studying or at practice. He just figures things out and figures them out well.

Maxwell has some really loyal best friends and has developed a circle of friends that are all pretty like-minded. He’s making good choices about who he hangs out with and I really like the group he’s fallen into. I think he’s well liked by all and can easily move between different groups. Jack is still his best friend but his social circle is big!

I love this kid so much and love watching him grow up. I said last year, there’s not much more to say except that he’s exceptional! I could not be more proud.

We had a room full of girls and they all had fun! There was LOTS of bracelet making going 0n (and the bracelets were a HUGE success thanks to GJ’s work organizing words into little bags and pre-cutting elastic!)…
