last day

There are many lasts today but a few firsts. 

CJ's last day of 5th grade and elementary school. He had to be at school at 7:30 to practice for band and orchestra for their 5th grade breakfast/celebration. He was very excited about the day.

Mason's last day as a Freshman. He really enjoyed having short days for finals. Friday, Monday, and today he was out at 1:00. Today when I picked him up I took him out to lunch to his favorite place, Chick-fil-a! He was so happy school was out that he was silly, and laughing at everything. We had fun!

Ferson has a parent/family and student breakfast/celebration on the last day of school. It was a wonderful program.

Each class, boys vs girls, had to complete word search/word scramble games to earn enough cups to build a pyramid before they could go sit at their table.

The entire program was wonderful! Their principal, Dr. Sculles, talked a couple different times. They had a video slideshow of activities throughout the year then they had their baby picture and a current picture of each student. During the baby pictures I got a little teary. I know Carson is going to miss his friends. I realized I've gotten to know these kids through work and I'm going to miss them too. Then the students sang a few songs. If was fun not only to listen to them but watch all the fun they were having. The orchestra played one song, so did the band. CJ was happily involved in all of it. 

Their final speaker was the new principal for Thompson Middle School. Carson wasn't too thrilled with this part. He's very discouraged that he won't be attending middle school with his friends. 

Last recess EVER!!!

The 5th grade clap out! (Karlee and Mason came with me.) Yay!! Schools out!! 

For a surprise I took the kids to a movie then out for ice cream. Here's the new things today. We've never attended a movie on the last day of school plus this is a new ice cream shop in our town. Super yummy! I think Karlee is wishing for a caramel apple too. Maybe next time.
