Last Day of School

The last day of school was June 3rd, so I'm a little behind in blogging. The kids have been excited to be out for summer vacation and I admit, that I was really excited too. I always face summer vacation with mixed feelings. I love having them home and having time to do fun stuff together, but I also really like school and the structure that it brings. But, this summer has been something that we've all looked forward to. We're not in the middle of packing and moving across country and the kids are at fun ages, so we can explore Salt Lake together!

The day before school got out, I was able to go to an Awards Assembly at school. Both Emily and Lindsey's teachers had called to tell us that they had been chosen from their classes to receive a special award for academics and citizenship. Each teacher can pick 2 students from their class, and both Emily and Lindsey were chosen. They had no idea, so it was fun that they were surprised. They both work so hard and are such good girls!

Our principal, Mr. Forsyth retired this year. He was a great principal and it will be fun to get to know a new one as well.

On the last day, the teachers and PTA put on a Field Day for the kids and they had a good time.
