Last Day of School & Awards

The school year has ended and these four have grown in so many ways. I'm so proud of each of them and the hard work they've put in all year long. They had amazing teachers (and parents, of course) to help them navigate through the academic, social, and emotional times that come with every new school year. Here's hoping for more great teachers in 2020!!

Seventh is done!!... and boy it was a doozy! This girl did homework non-stop from the minute she got home from school to the minute she went to bed. She takes her studies very seriously, but I'm so glad she had the amazing experience this year of being in the school play, Aladdin. One more year of middle school before she heads off to high school...

Kendall had the sweetest teacher, Mrs. Dubell, this year and she was such a welcome surprise! We loved her and you could tell she loved her class. With nearly all of her best friends in one class, what more could Kendall have asked for during her third grade year!...

It's nice to know that third grade didn't take away this girl's goofy side...

Looks like she had to really think about how many fingers to hold up... maybe she was already dreaming about fourth grade? Should we just skip summer and head straight into it?...

Don't get him wrong... Hudson absolutely LOVED kindergarten, Mrs. Mitsos, and his classmates, but he IS excited for first grade! He has already picked out the teacher he wants. Fingers crossed!...

There's that 'K' for Kindergarten. I can't believe my last baby is done with their first year of school. No more kindergarteners for me...

I'd say Brooklyn grew the most this year in her last year in elementary school. She had the most incredible teacher, Mrs. Walter, and that woman pushed and challenged her class in amazing ways! Brooklyn soaked it all up and loved it all. She couldn't wait for each new project and assignment, especially when it came to the class reading assignments). It certainly helped that she had EVERY SINGLE FRIEND in her class, and boy all of their strong personalities are a force to be rekoned with. These kids are going to go on to great things and be great leaders for sure! Can't believe I have one more kiddo leaving elementary school and heading to sixth grade middle school next year!...

And... she still has a thing for fashion and hair to boot!...

Bus stop family fun will change again next year when we lose B to the early morning bus with Ella...

Bus top friends... Brooklyn, Kendall, Hudson, Sam, Brady, Reagan...

If there's a stick nearby, they're gonna find it and swing it around...

We are SO VERY PROUD of Brooklyn for receiving the President's Award for Educational Excellence! It's such an honor! Way to go girl!...

Jordyn Algazi and B with their prestigious awards!...

Love this girl...

Fantastic teacher, Mrs. Walter, and B...
