We’re ready for you summer!
Lots of fun school stuff the last few weeks…
Field trips! Spencer has been to the zoo, Vulcan and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame!
Maxwell got to go to a Barons game with the whole grade and out to eat at Mexico Lindo with his spanish class!
He also got to present his 1990s decade project complete with MTV shirt!
Samantha has had the ABC countdown the last month with all sorts of fun dress up days!
We also wrapped up end of year teacher gifts and handed those out!
Busy busy and only 2 more days to summer!!
Maxwell and the group of 6th graders at Cathedral Church of the Advent have been going through confirmation class the past several months. It’s been quite a commitment and I’m been so proud of how Maxwell has upheld that commitment! He only missed Sunday confirmation class two times – once because he was sick and once for a scout campout. They also went on a weekend retreat. Yesterday was confirmation day and Robert and I actually decided to get confirmed and join the Advent as well. Ronnie was Maxwell’s sponsor and everyone was able to come in town for the service and lunch at the club after.
It was a special morning and I’m glad we could all be together. I guess we’re Episcopalian now! ha! The denomination doesn’t matter much to me but what does matter is that the kids have a good church home with a thriving youth group and lots of buddies. Advent fits that bill and we’re happy to be there!
Friday!!
Make it a great weekend!
Scouts has wrapped up for the spring and Maxwell promoted up to Second Class and has earned 12 merit badges so far!
As part of the Family Life badge he did a complete cleanup of the playroom and donated a ton of old toys. Very helpful!!
He also learned about CPR in the First Aid badge…
and is becoming quite the cook on campouts! I think he’s getting famous for his fettuccini alfredo (His secret? lots of butter!)
He was recognized at the Court of Honor last week for his accomplishments.
I’m very proud of my Boy Scout! Now on to scout camp this summer!!
