End of School

I knew it was going to be an emotional time of year when Jackson started incorporating, "Dear God, please help me not to miss Mrs. Weeden too much" into his nightly prayers. He was just so in love with her and close to his classmates that we hated to see Kindergarten come to an end. Here are a few pictures from the end of the year.

Here are the kiddos showing off their stuff on Grandparent's Day.





And here are the grandparents. Thank you Nana and Big Papa for coming to share this day with us!



Luke's preschool really tried to make all the parents feel special. They had a Father's Day breakfast and a Mother's Day Tea. Here are some pictures from the Mother's Day program.







We had an end of the year party for Jackson's class at the nature center after school one day. We didn't get very many good pictures, but I liked this one of Jackson and his good friend Lindsey in the barn.



And here is the infamous cake that originally said "1st Grade Here We Came!" :-)



There was a really sweet moment in chapel on the last day of school. It's hard to see, but Mr. Gilbert had all the kindergarteners sit in the lap of a senior while he gave his talk. Then, the seniors walked the little guys back to class.





We got a sweet note from Mrs. Weeden a couple of weeks after school was out. She told Jackson she loved him, and I thought he was going to cry. He wanted to make sure we saved it. We're looking forward to first grade and praying for a special mix of kids and teachers to come together for another great year.
