"School's Out For Summer!"

Last Day of School...the kids finally made it through the year! They had a great year and worked really hard. At the awards assembly their hard work paid off. They each received awards. Madison got her medal for accelerated reading, and an award for math too! R.J. received honor roll, "P.E. Student of the Year" award, the "Safety-Patrol" award and the Principal's Award. It was so fun spending the last day of school with the kids. I was able to help plan and organize their end of the year party. (Their classes combined with one another) We went to a near by park and played baseball, water-games and had a B-B-Q. The party was a hit. Later that night, for a kick off to summer we and six other families went to the drive-in movies. I didn't know they still had those around! The kids didn't even know what we were talking about when we told them we were going to see Kung-Fu Panda at one. Let's just say there was a lot more mingling and visiting than movie watching. And there was treats galore shared by all. I couldn't believe not one of my children fell asleep watching the show! They must have been having too much fun. What a way to start the summer. Now we all have 3 whole months to recover from school. I am so glad to be saying goodbye to homework, deadlines, schedules, waking up to the alarm, volunteering every week, being Room-Mom, money for field trips and other activities, car-pool, tests, studying and no free time! I can't wait. If you need me for anything school related, I'll get back to you when I can. But, if it's an emergency: you can find me at the beach!
