The End of Kindergarten is Almost Here!

Sadly, our first step into the world of school and big kid stuff is coming to an end. I know many of you reading this are feeling the same thing. I am thinking into this way more than I did on the first day of school. Kinda weird. Anyway, the last few days have been eventful with the Volunteer Appreciation Tea yesterday afternoon and then our last chapel and special awards given out this morning.


The room was nicely decorated for an afternoon tea and apparently the kids learned how to do it all! (Notice the place settings!) Now there will be no arguing about how to set the table for supper. The kids sang a few songs and it was melt your heart sweet to see them. When they were finished they went out to the crowd of parents and friends and shook hands and said thank you. LOVE THAT!

There is a little boy at the preschool who is battling a brain tumor that the kids have been praying for and bringing in their piggy bank change for. He and his mom were there and it was special that he got to thank the class as they gave him a special gift that came from their hearts. I am in awe at how the students' hearts were being taught with as much enthusiasm and emphasis as their brains.












This morning Sawyer was given the Aiming High Award for always striving to learn as much as he could squeeze from subjects throughout the year. His teachers have done such a wonderful job this first year of the academy and we are so blessed by what they have accomplished through God with each child.

I love the new picture in your header! What a great shot. It sounds like you all are do very busy up North..and loving it. You will never want to come back, but we sure do miss you all. Kindergarten....Parker is moving on too. Makes me sad. He is my baby. We are changing schools next year, so pray that we have made a good decision.
