I wish summer wouldn’t end but it’s back to school today! We went up to the Junior High on Tuesday and got Maxwell’s locker all set up…

It’s going to be a great year in 3rd grade!

We then met all of the 5th grade teachers…and didn’t get a picture with a single one! After a little switcheroo, Spencer is very happy to be in Mr. Andrews class with many of his best friends! Spencer was really happy to see his best bud in the hallway…

Back to school, back to routine!

Post graduation

After graduation Maxwell and I with a group of his friends went to Paramount for lunch. Burgers, fries and video games! Best celebration of 6th grade ever!

That afternoon the class had a pool party and they all had fun despite the chilly temps!

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™‚

After getting their diploma, the graduates stood alongside the wall and Maxwell ended up standing right beside me and Robert. We loved this! Maxwell did not. ha!
