To refresh your memory, or make you feel old, this is the First Day(s) of School.
First one to finish! Off to 8th grade after an AMAZING year first year at a new school. She received an award in almost every single subject. Which means that she had grades 95 or higher. Go Emma! So proud. She even entered an essay contest and came in the top 3 of the Junior High.
Second finisher is the new 10th grader. First honors, and a year full of first honors, and growth even noticed by his teachers. I am so proud of his journey as a young man. He has been attending a weekly prayer group, youth ministry, and even decided to go to Work Camp.
Award for the longest year ever, goes to these boys who finished 2 weeks after the big kids. William is going to be in 5th grade next year. Finished the year with a very tough teacher with 2nd honors. When asked what he liked the most, he said "sparkle was my favorite." Why? Because he knew the teacher's pattern for calling on the students. And he used to position himself in a certain place so he could "always come in 2nd." What an amazing kid.
This boy!! What a year! 2nd grade will be so great for him. He loved all the reading, and how much his teacher challenged him, and with each note she sent home thanking me for the work I do as his mom and "first reader" brought me to tears. He sprouted and grew this year in height as well!

How 10th grade already?! And, agreed, such a long year- literally almost made it to the official first day of summer! Also, I am so thankful for Mrs. N and so sad that Evie's year with her is over!
