Graduation

Here we are half way through summer and I still haven't posted about the two big graduation celebrations we had in May.

Gabriel completed elementary school and Isabelle finished up with Preschool.  It was fun to watch each of the unique ways the classes celebrated the completion of the important milestone in their lives.

5th Grade Kick Ball Game:  Kids versus Teachers and Parents:
An annual tradition at the boys' school is that the fifth grade class, on the last day of school has a kick ball game where they take on the teachers and the parents.  Gabriel of course was convinced he and his classmates were going to "crush" the parents and teachers.

Dad, couldn't wait to join in on the fun and turns out Gabriel's dream of "crushing us older folks" wasn't too accurate.  There are some talented 5th grade teachers at the game of kick ball, and the parents aren't too bad either!

Celebrating his kick!

Gabriel with his teacher, Ms. Bordelon.  Yes he did grow taller than her this year. 

Okay he may have scored the first time up to kick.

Isabelle's Pre-school graduation:  Isabelle's wonderful teacher Stacey planned a fabulous ceremony where the kids got to have their party at a bounce center.  They thought it was awesome!  Here is Isabelle with her class and the best pre-k teacher around, Ms. Stacey!"

She did it!  Receiving her diploma

Here's another picture of the class on a day I went in to read to her class

The class had a great program they shared with us complete with songs.

afterwards there was a balloon relase

Isabelle LOVES Ms. Stacey, who we can now refer to her as Aunt Stacey

and her afternoon teacher Ms. Samantha

Gabriel's 5th grade concert:
In the final weeks of school, Gabriel and the 5th grade class had a concert where they sang songs and played instruments.  It was fun to watch and Gabriel did a great job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep he's again the tallest kid in the back row

This past school year was a great one for all the kids. They worked hard, they tried their best and we are proud of them all.  In a few short weeks, we will be starting another chapter as Isabelle begins her elementary career, Michael starts his final year of elementary and Gabriel embarks on middle school.  Not sure if I'm ready but I guess I'll have no choice.  The days are flying by.

 

Until next time,
