I accompanied Lily’s class to Babby Farms for a fun morning of animals. She loved it and I appreciated a chance to mingle with other moms. I’ve sure missed helping at the school this year. She and her friend Beth had a blast in our little group, especially petting the kangaroos.
The boys had a belated soccer banquet and Mack received the JV MVP award – an award picked by his teammates. It made me excited for soccer to start up in the fall. If there were any other high school awards passed out, I wouldn’t know; Andrew throws away any awards he receives.
Emily finished 5th grade with flying colors. She was the only student in her class that finished the extensive reading list provided by her teacher. He challenged them to read or reread every book on the list – only a handful of kids have done it in years past. Emmy was done by March. She might like to read.
Here she is at 5th grad graduation with some of her buddies this year. It was bittersweet for me. I’m excited to see how she enjoys more focused attention in each subject next year but I’m going to miss my two little buddies riding the bus together. They are such great friends and are always looking out for each other. I hope that doesn’t change when Emmy moves onto Middle School next year.
Kate had the privilege of being the first Middleton 8th grade class to have a graduation. She wasn’t so excited about that. When they called her name, she didn’t even stop in front of the parents for me to take a pic. So, this is all I have – can you find her? The highlight was her receiving a kindness award. A teacher saw her true nature and kind heart and choose her to receive that award. So sweet. Hard to believe that next year I'll have three high schoolers and only one lone elementary student. I’m getting old.
