Last Day of School & 6th Grade Graduation!

They did it! Aidan and Avery finished their first year at a brand new school and we are so proud of them! Avery got the joy award from her teacher. I think it fits her very well! She navigated through tough schoolwork, making new friends, and a teacher transition (her teacher had a baby last month) and did it all with a smile!

Aidan is officially done with elementary school and is moving on up to middle school! At his graduation, his teacher gave him the "friendliness" award and said that this year he learned not to give up, and that he was proud of himself for starting over in a new city and making new friends (we are proud of him for this too!). He made the A/B Honor Roll and as if that wasn't enough, he was given an award by both his P.E. teacher for athleticism and inclusiveness, and his band teacher for excellence and dedication. Way to go Aidan!
