Last Day of School! - Part 2

Back at school, the 5th graders had a special assembly with a slide show of their year together followed by a party/dance.  Just before school was over for the day, the whole school including teachers, kids and parents lined the main hallway to do a "Clap Out" for the graduating 5th grade kids.  Everyone cheered and clapped as these big kids walked single file down the hallway and out the door "to middle school!"  It was such a special display of honor for all of those kids and especially seeing my own child walking those halls for the last time, I couldn't help but get teary.  I'm just so happy for Justin and all he can and will accomplish in his life.

After the "Clap Out", everyone mingled outside for more pictures.  This time we had Tyler and Allie with us to join in on the fun.  Tyler had such a great year with Mrs. Schroeder and Justin enjoyed his time with Miss Haynes.  What an awesome school!

The fun didn't just stop with coming home after school.  First, Justin had a last-day-of-school party at a friend's house.  A big group of his 5th grade friends had a shaving cream war.  So fun!  They were covered!

Tyler and his baseball team had their end-of-season party at a pizza restaurant.  It was fun to watch Tyler accept his baseball trophy and hear the nice compliments from his coaches.  We loved watching Tyler play ball this year!  We are so proud of him for trying his best!

What a great day!  We are excited for both boys to move on to the next grade in September.  Welcome Summer!
