By Linda Waggener

Kathy Keith, shared Saturday morning Rotary Breakfast with her daughter Amanda Taylor and grandsons, 9-month old Trayton Stargel and his big brother Aaran Taylor. They needed to rush because of an early morning basketball game at the Christian Life Center where Aaran was about to play.

He plays on the #1 ranked Pistons basketball team and Saturday's game was against the Rockets. He also enjoys soccer and baseball, but all that has to come after homework is done, says his Mom Amanda.

Aaran is a 3rd grader in Ms. Akin's room at Knifley Grade Center. Aaron, at age 7,should be a 2nd grader, but he's advanced and he has the highest AR (he has the most accelerated reading points) in the whole school of grades 1 through 8. He was also the highest scoring reader at Knifley last year with 344 points.
