Last day of school

We've had an eventful couple of days. Last Wednesday the kids had their last Musical Majors performance.  We went around to all the local nursing homes and the kids sang some of their favorite songs they learned this year.  It was a really neat experience for the kids because they got to see a lot of residents that used to live in Wellington.  A few of them even remembered the kids and hugged them and were so happy to have them there performing.  What a great way to end the school year!  The picture above is Shalyce, Gavin, and Connor with Fawn Wilder, one of Debbie's neighbor's. 

Thursday was field day.  They decided to do an old school field day so they had potato sack races, tug o war, ball throw, etc.  It was fun, but it started to rain halfway through the day and got super cold.  We ended up spending the afternoon in the classrooms watching movies. I didn't get many pictures, actually I only got the one of Kinlee in the potato sack, but it was a really enjoyable day.  

Friday was the last day of school and it truly was a bitter sweet day.  We are so excited for summer and a break, but Kadee is going to be a big 5th grader and Connor is going to the middle school.  I love the people they are growing into, but I hate to see them grow up so fast.  The morning started with signing yearbooks, a quick picture of the kids with their teachers on the last day, then an assembly.  Connor FINALLY won the Warrior Award!  He has been working all year to earn that award and I was so proud of him.  His teacher wrote him a letter to go with it that said he had worked extremely hard to be an example to his classmates and she was so proud of him for standing up to them when they were doing things they weren't supposed to.  He also spoke to the student body and passed the torch to the new student council.  It was really fun having both him and Kadee up there, Kadee as the future historian and Connor as the President for the last time.  They handed out more awards and did the final drawing for Road to Success.  RTS is a reading program our school participated in this year.  The kids recorded their reading and won small prizes, and then were put in a drawing for a larger quarterly prize.  Well the final drawing was done and Kadence's name was called!  She won a certificate for a new bike and was beyond excited!  As soon as school was out we took her to pick out her bike and then she got to go to an end of school year pool party and sleepover at her friend Kloey's house.

Finally, the best way to start summer is with a messy face, but happy boy!  Matthew insisted I take his picture with the worm he found.Later I had to drag him off his bike to come in and take a bath.  #boyswillbeboys #alittledirtneverhurt
