Alek Bartels

This is Michelles middle child, Alek. She has him playing in the bars already! He is performing at Dewitt. He has been playing electric guitar since 4th grade. He is now in 7th grade at Beatrice Middle School. He also plays saxaphone in band, harmonica at home and piano (by ear). He got into Delegation this year at school (hard to get into as your judged amongst 100 kids, few get in- dance group) He is on bowling league, sat. am's and 2nd game found out already "what a turkey is". He was nominated from teachers last year with Life Long Learner Award (a very high honor from school!) out of 180 kids in his grade one boy, one girl was chosen. He recently just got asked from Guidence Counselor to take ACT already and get tested for Duke University Gifted and Talented program...so we are also very proud of this kid! He will be moved up this year into the Higher Ability Group at school, to be more challenged. (I just know he got his looks and talent and smarts definitly from ME) :) sorry for the kids not in order on this website, I was having technical issues again.....and didn't want to bother netter again....anyway, as I promised her...I did my part, now we can pass the stick and now you have to "get er done"! Good Luck and Have Fun Class Mates!
