A week before school got out, the school held their final Celebration of Learning assembly. Carter had perfect attendance for the ENTIRE year, so he was recognized for that!
(He's standing up in the middle with the blue shirt on)
Also, his teacher chose two students (a boy and a girl) to receive this 9 weeks character award for fairness. He did not know he was going to get it, but we did :)
He was very proud, as he should be! I'm glad to know that he's always treating his peers fairly and with respect.
The awards are just rolling in here at the end of the year! So proud of him!
Carter's class got to do the announcements on the second to last week of school. Here is a picture of them on the TV that Carter's teacher sent.
Eric was a Watch Dog (a Dad volunteer for the entire school for one full day -- basically, they put him to work!) Carter has been waiting for Eric to be a Watch Dog all year.... he was so excited to have Eric there!
Two boys off to school!
(Eric was beat when they got home that day! Lots of hard work goes into helping and teaching so many kids each day!)
Another one of the awards Carter received last week as a positive referral from his teacher. This is where they get to go to the principal/asst. principals office to be recognized because they've done something positive. That was a fun phone call to get from the assistant principal telling me she had Carter in her office... ha! Almost gave me a heart attack!
He was recognized on the announcements for it, and we joined them in the library to watch :)
The second to last day of school they had their end of year parties. A BMX stunt show came to put on a show for the whole school in the parking lot in the morning. Ella had swim lessons, so we weren't able to go to that portion of it. But in the afternoon they had snow cones and popcorn out in the courtyard, and we joined them for that.

Then Carter's teacher took her to get her own
The same evening, kindergarten families got together for a 'Goodbye Kindergarten' picnic. Each grade level does this, and we had a awesome turn out (175+) for a fun tradition! Great school, great community, great people our kids will grow up knowing, love it all!
Playtime first
Then dinner time
A picture of all the kindergarteners was almost impossible. This is the best I got. Carter is near the top of the slide, behind the little girl in the red shirt.
After a fun last day of school, we were invited to a neighbors house to swim. Ready to jump in, some with their clothes on. :)
Go!
:)
These boys had fun!!
They must've jumped in 100 times!
Love this!
After our swim with the boys, we headed back down the alley to our house. Carter loved the message he found on the garage door!
(Eric and a friend brewed beer this afternoon, so ignore all the brew stuff!)
And we had a basket full of water balloons waiting. Which meant water fight!
He got me!
Carter gets more handsome with each post. He is one straight arrow! It is times like these that make the hard work so rewarding. And of course the unsolicited hugs, snuggles and kisses. Good job, Laney.
