Graduation

June 2, 2023

Maxwell is officially an elementary school graduate! I’m so proud of Maxwell. He excelled at MBE and made the most of his 7 years there. Straight As, exemplary behavior, involved in all kinds of activities – he’s an all around great kid! Graduation was a special day and he looked extra sharp in his new suit!

First day of Kindergarten…

Graduation was in the auditorium which worked out well because it was a rainy morning. We ended up being able to snag seats for Spencer and Samantha too so they got to come watch.

All the graduates looked very nice up on stage in their best attire!

They gave out a few awards during graduation…but no academic awards. I have thoughts on that which I’m sharing with the principal! In my book, Maxwell got the STEM Robotics award and the All A Honor Roll! I’m also going to give him the “kind, cool kid” award! Β πŸ™‚

Maxwell’s class dressed up as the “Pink Pirates”. I’m not sure what type of pirates they actually were but they all wanted to wear those pink durags and they got their face paint on and they looked good!

The Pink Pirates ended up taking the Spirit/Flair award which was awesome because this costume was 100% driven and created by the boys! Love that! They also took the overall winner award!! 6th Grade Field Day 2023 Champs!!

Confirmation

May 22, 2023

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!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments
