That's a Wrap!

Our elementary school will be undergoing a major renovation during the summer and they school has been getting ready little by little because everyone and everything has to be out by the evening of the last day of school.  The kids didn't have smart boards the last week, no desks, chairs, or computers, or benches in the cafeteria for the last two days.

They have joyfully reported that they have had time to play games, have recess and second recess (traditionally only one), viewings of Disney movies, and picnic lunches. As parents we have sent them to school this week to enjoy kite day outside (wind optional), camp day, dance party day...They have certainly gotten creative along with their relaxed standards of education.  We had class parties and award ceremonies on the second to last day of school so I have no idea what they are doing to babysit my kids today but God bless them, because I am loving my last day of freedom.

Kindergarten Award Ceremony (and yes, everyone gets an award).

Rhys go the Super Hero Award from his teacher.  She stated, "I gave you this award because you are a super hero. You care about others. You make good choices. The world is a better place because you are in it! I am so happy I got to be your kindergarten teacher!"  That was so nice to hear from her.  Now let's hope he doesn't think he can jump off roofs and fly.

While I finished up the Kindergarten celebration with cookies and pictures, Neal headed outdoors with the 2nd graders to celebrate with Sophie.

Love this picture!

Last Day of School Traditions

Ended the day with a snap shot by the "old school" marquee that will be replaced with an electric one next year.

What a helpful, goofy kid!

 Now we'll see what kind of mischief we can get into for the summer break!
