The One With The Last Day of School

 

 

Yesterday was the last day of school for me. Hard to believe, I know. This year flew by fast. It was definitely memorable. I had some amazing students and an  amazing team of teachers - and Jax the therapy dog - to work with. I definitely will remember this year.

 

It is hard to believe this is the 28th last day of school that I have had. It is hard to believe that I am closer to the end.

 

However, the more important thing is that SUMMER IS HERE!!! Who-hoo

The One Where Bri Leaves Elemetary School

June 27, 2018

A date that will go down in the history of our family. At 12:08 today, Bri officially became an alumni of Highlands School.

After six long, hard-working, and satisfying years at the elementary school around the corner, Bri officially left school. It is hard to believe she entered school as a timid kindergartner six years ago. Those six years flew by...and now she leaves as a more self-assured and confident (and smart) fifth grader.

We are going to miss those days of walking to school up the street.

Memories fill the mind of

Monster Mashes
Science Fairs
Friday Morning Meeting Assemblies
Chorus Concerts
Recorder Practices
Art Show Nights


A wealth of wonderful memories that we will hold dear forever.

Congratulations Bri on closing the chapter of one adventure and beginning a new chapter in your life.

The One With the First Full Day of Summer

Hooray! It finally arrived. The first day of summer.

Yesterday was the last day of school. It was bittersweet because it was the last day I will be in 8th grade and part of the moving on ceremony. It was very powerful and poignant...and a wonderful sendoff.

Today, however, represented something new....the arrival of summer. Emmie and I took it in. We walked the kids to school, enjoyed breakfast, got a new phone, enjoyed home, and then took the kids to ice cream and Endicott Park.

No better way to start the summer.

Looking forward to a great one.
