Last Day of School

The big kids and twins' final day was exactly a week apart, but since it's now been over a month since even the twins finished up, I'm just going to include both last days here.

Alice is off to high school, Emily is headed to 8th grade, and William will be in 6th grade this fall!

 

All 3 of the big kids received award packets filled with commendations, which we've now added to the awards binder!



The twins also had an awards day, but it wasn't on the final day of school.  I can't believe that my babies are all done with fourth grade!


Seeing the senior signs in yards this year with Class of 2024 was eye opening for me, because 2028 is awfully close to 2024! = 0  

No lies when they tell you it goes fast, because my, oh, my, does it ever!  I feel like Alice was just a fourth grader with most of her schooling in front of her, now she just has a few tiny years left.  I know we still have time, but it sure is flying by!

Emily's Optimist Award, Year 2!

Emily was given the optimist award for a second consecutive year!   Sadly, Billy was sick this year, and stayed home, so it was just the two of us.

She was nominated by a different teacher: Ms. Pung! Sadly, she was not able to be there, so she was greeted by a different teacher from their school.  

Once again, our state representative was there, which is such a considerate thing in my opinion!  I can only imagine how many ceremonies she has to decline each year!

The speaker indicated to us that should there be a misspelling, we should find him to get a replacement certificate.  In a crazy mishap (the teacher accidentally emailing her sister's name) the optimist award ended up having Alice's name on it instead of Emily's. lol.  All of the other documents were correct, as was the program and the speaker's notes, just the signed state of Michigan form. lol.  


She's due to get a replacement soon, hopefully this one will have her name on it!  

We sure are proud of our Emily!  May she always be an optimist! = )
