This was a strange school year - we started with needing to cut the Meet the Teacher short due to weather warnings about the impending arrival of Harvey, and then we were told we would start school 1 week late due to Harvey. Because that wasn't feasible for the staff, students, faculty, and the city in general, we ended up starting 2 weeks late. Soon after that we had a day off for the Astros parade. And then we had a snowfall in December, but no day off for it, but 2 days off for ice and snow in January. It just seemed like a lot of stop and start and no real rhythm to the year. I am always excited for the start of summer, but this year, I really felt like we all needed the summer to regroup and recharge!
The kids had their awards days. Both kids made Honors and got a trophy.
Then it was the actual last day of school!
The kids had class parties, and after school we went to the Bluhm's for a swim party.
I always make the kids a special dessert for the first and last day of school. This year I was lacking a bit of the time, creativity, and .... motivation/enthusiasm to come up with something big and unique, so I went for something super fast and simple!!
Welcome summer!
Yes, welcome summer indeed!
