Another successful school year is done and the kids have grown, matured, and worked hard. They now deserve some rest and relaxation, as well as some boredom, but hey that is what summer is about.
Rob continued his tradition of meeting the kids on their last day and videoing the event. Here is Spenser on his last day, and can't you just hear Alice Cooper's words, "Schools out for SUMMER!!"
Here is our no longer 5th grader, now a 6th grader.
Rob attempted to video Sienna as well but she wasn't so keen on that idea, as you may expect with a pre-teen. She could see us across the field and she turned around and went the other way. Sadly, I won't further embarass her with the video of that. It's hard to be upset about her reluctance to be videoed when she handled the transition into junior high so famously. As a junior high teacher myself, I know first hand how tumultuous this time can be, and how many students struggle with the number of teachers and expectations they have. I'm very proud to say Sienna, the independent and self-motivated girl that she is, shined with no help from mom and dad. She was like her own parent, monitoring her progress, grades, and workload. It certainly paid off as evidenced by her final report card!
Her hard work was further acknowledged by her acceptance into the National Junior Honor Society.
Here she is at the induction ceremony.
So let summer commence.
We'll be taking in the beauty of the Central Coast for the next three weeks. Hopefully we'll be able to post from there.
