Emily and Lindsey successfully finished 2nd grade and Kindergarten yesterday! Summer has officially begun! The girls both had amazing teachers and a great year at school.
Lindsey loved being at school and loved her teacher, Mrs. Holland. She asked me the other day if she could be held back just so that she could have Mrs. Holland as a teacher again. Lindsey was a fun, little helper in class and learned so much. For the class gift, I made a salt water taffy quilt for her. I stitched each child's name into a taffy. The parents in the class donated to help buy the backing and have it quilted. Then we presented it to her yesterday. She loved it. It was so fun to give someone who was so loving and patient to her class, a fun, memorable gift.
Emily also had a great year. Her teacher, Mrs. Kuhman, has been wonderful too! She attended Emily's baptism in the fall and has just been so sweet too. She is a huge Ohio State fan, so I made her an OSU quilt (and the other parents donated to have it quilted). I stitched the names of the kids in one of the borders. She was speakless and loved it too. It was a fun day to celebrate the end of another school year and to thank these 2 amazing teachers!

What amazing gifts for those two wonderful teachers. It was all worth it! They are going to hate when the Bowen family leaves. I bet each teacher dreams of students like Emily and Lindsey.
