On Saturday, we bid a final farewell to DGS with the annual wrap up "gala." Normally, this would have been done at the Yacht Club with a formal party. However, that was not possible this year. So we were all able to enjoy a Softball Party at Tiggies, which was fun.
We got a chance to send Bri on a Farewell. She got flowers as a retiring 8th grader and a photo with the entire group, which was AWESOME! And we got some nice pictures.
Thank you DGS for a wonderful career.
Today, we had a first in our house. It began when I received an email from Bri's softball coach. She wanted to check in with her about tomorrow's game - which is potentially her last regular reason game as a member of the DGS (unless the add the high school league back).
As any true 8th grader would feel, Bri was a little worried, but he reassured us in an email that it was related to her last game. And it turns out, when she called him, he told her that as part of their last game, she and another 8th grader on the team would be in charge of putting together the lineup. It is sort of like a right of passage.
But then, he congratulated her and said she also made the All Star Team. She was shocked - and excited. It is the first time anyone in our family made an All Star Team!
