SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!

Last week was another full one! I worked all week & the kids enjoyed lots of fun things during their last week of 3rd and 1st grade.

There was snow cone days sponsored by student council. Each snow cone cost 50 cents and after 2 days the student council made over $1000. Pretty amazing.

I co-chaired the 2 day annual talent show for the 4th year in a row. It was another success. Jake's group danced again & did well. Allie and her friend Jordyn brought down the house with their version of Hoedown Throwdown by Hannah Montana. They got the loudest cheers for the day.

We had a week long coin drive come to an end. The kids raised over $7200 & got the opportunity to dunk the principal and some teachers in a dunk tank. The teachers were great sports & of course the kiddos loved it.

Awards day brought the student council awards for both Jake & Allie. Jake also got a garden club award. I was nominated for a volunteer award as well. I was one proud mama after all was said & done.

I got to go to Allie's class picnic on the last day of school. I loved it! I was also invited to Jake's end of the year ice cream party. They showered me with a cool card signed by the whole class and a gift bag of goodies for my time spent with his class.

Jake had a baseball game on Wednesday night. They lost, but Jake had some great fielding on 1st base and he even hit a foul ball (he eventually struck out & was walked too).

Allie went to a pizza party with her Daisy troop the other night. She got her patch & awards for selling so many cookies this year.

Jake played in a weekend-long soccer tournament. They won Friday night, lost 2 games on Saturday & lost on Sunday. They 6th placed overall. Jake had 2 goals in the tournament & played well.

This week brings: vacation Bible school, baseball practices, 2 doubleheader baseball games, Jake's basketball camp and catching up on housework.
