Last Day of School

The school year comes to a close a little bit earlier than usually this year. Typically we are in school until around the 19th of June. However, this year we pulled the boys out of school a week and a day early so we could leave for our Utah trip. Saying goodbye to Mrs. Oynes, Mrs. P and Mrs. Furtek was sad, however, our EXCITEMENT for our trip out weighed it.

I can't believe another school year has come and gone. The boys loved their fourth and first grade teachers! The boys have grown physically as well as academically. All of the teachers who associated or worked with the boys spoke very highly of them.

Highlights from this year were:

• Christopher enjoyed razzing Mrs. Furtek about different sport teams and games.
• Matthew loved learning all about Virginia's history and his favorite subject continues to be Social Studies/Science.
• Both boys enjoyed getting to school early to participate in the jogging club. They also spent their recess jogging.

This year I enjoyed being Room Mom for Christopher's class. I loved planning the parties and being very involved in the happenings of his classroom. I will particularly miss my kids that I worked with in my reading group from Christopher's class. Every week I was greeted by big hugs and smiles! I especially loved watching these children grow as their reading skills improved over the year. I will miss are principal Mrs. Jackie Brownell, who is moving to another school. She is a FANTASTIC principal! She was so easy to work with as we transitioned to Selden's Elementary last year.
