End Of School Year

The end of the school year is a mix of loads of fun and loads of activities and some mixed feelings.

We had such wonderful teachers this last year that it was hard to let them go.  Billy’s teacher, Mrs. Liechty, made such a huge difference in his education this year and just loved him – I joked that I would remain active in PTA just so I could request her for the upcoming boys.  Ricky had his teacher, Mrs. Fowers, for two years in a row and she has helped him develop in amazing ways, so moving on for Ricky is full of unknowns.  Rusty’s teacher, Mrs. Young, will have Tommy next year, so that one wasn’t so bad!   And Tommy graduating preschool means we won’t have a student for Ms. Cherie until Bobby is big enough to go there…it will be odd not having a student with Cherie after so long!

Kindergarten does a big Mother Goose Field Day on their second to last day of school.  It is fun and cute and I got to help again this year.  I was supposed to run the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe game, but instead I brought the rubber duck races from the school’s Field Day with me and the kids loved it!  Thankfully, I had this picture taken of Rusty and I because I completely forgot to get his last day of school picture the next day.  Did I mention it was a busy month?

The month included several PTA meetings, me being gone to PTA convention for two days, Field Day, a PTA assembly, Teacher Appreciation Week, Mother Goose Field Day, 5th Grade Day at the park, Preschool Field Day, Preschool Graduation, and 2nd Grade Lunch in the Park.  On top of that, we left as soon as school got out on the last day for our family vacation in California.  I was busy.  But I loved spending the time with my boys!
