6th Grade Graduation

Our oldest Haley is an amazing girl! We are so very proud of her accomplishments this year! She has completed 6th grade. And it was a busy year for her indeed. She played in the schools Band, Jazz Band, was in the African American Exchange Club, played Fall and Spring soccer and gave everything 100%!

 Her classroom does a big graduation where the 4th and 5th graders write a play and practice for months. The play is about the 6th graders and what each one of them might be doing in 20 yrs. They said that Haley was going to be a world known piano player and still playing for audiences. :)

 Here she is with her fellow graduates!

 I asked all of her besties to go outside for a group photo. I'm so happy they all agreed! Such a great group of kids!

 With one of her teachers, Siri. Her other teacher, Lynn, had to have surgery on her shoulder the week before school was out. This will give her plenty of time to recoup for next year, where I am hoping that Kaylin will get to be in her class. Siri and her husband (the Assistant Principle) will be leaving our school this year to move closer to family. We just found they are having a baby and are so happy for them. It will be there first!

It was such an emotional day for Haley. She is leaving the center/classroom that she has spent the last 3 yrs of her life in. She and her friends will all be split up for Middle Schools classes. Our school is K-8, so she will still see many of them, but it will not be the same.

Dao and I met in the 7th grade and started dating in 8th. I keep telling her that she could meet her future husband next year! That is until her Daddy completely freaks out and says "No Way!". Hahaha!
