Sydney's pals


One of the real joys of life is watching your children make friends, especially if those friends are children you, as a parent, approve of. Sydney has made three very good friends since coming to Brazil. In addition to Alyssa, two other girls returned to the school for the 2006/07 year. These girls, Jill and Lilian, were good friends of Alyssa's, and rather than make Sydney compete with the other two, the girls each embraced the others to become a bigger, stronger group.

These four girls form the core of Shannon's Girls Club that meets once a month to encourage their spiritual walk. They are also active in junior high student council and are strong positive leaders in the sixth grade class at PACA. It is a bleesing to have such nice girls around for Sydney to chum with.
