Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
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!
Proud of all of these graduates and thankful for such a great experience at MBE!
Congratulations MBE Class of 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…
to last day of 6th grade!
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! 🙂
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!
Congratulations graduates!
Luckily there was a break in the rain right after graduation so all the kids got to go outside and shoot off confetti canons! fun!!
I love this class and the group of friends Maxwell has made at MBE. I hope they are lifelong buddies!
I sure do love this smart, handsome young man!
From his globe before kindergarten (with unfortunate face paint that day! ha!)…
to his globe at graduation!
We are so proud of you Maxwell! Congratulations!
Now on to bigger adventures at the Junior High!
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!
Go Mrs. Cox’s Pink Pirates!
They were fierce competitors out on the field!
Tug of War – they had a little trouble with their footing! ha!
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!!
What a way to end Maxwell’s time at MBE!
Go Pink Pirates!!
Up next is Faulkner’s Falcons! “I’m da biggest bird”! John even agreed to wear a full falcon costume. Love it!
Spencer’s class has some really athletic boys in it and they dominated all of the games!
Tug of war!!
His class didn’t win the flair award or the Shield of Destiny but they still won the overall champion award based on points alone! Go Faulkner’s Falcons!!
Go Faulkner’s Falcons!! 4th Grade Field Day Champs 2023!
We had another over the top, completely awesome, super fun Field Day this year! It was supposed to be the Friday before school got out but, after a solid week of rain, the school moved it to Monday. It ended up being a great day to be out competing! In an amazing turn of events, we ended up being winners 3x over! Yep, the Brown house swept Field Day when all three kids’ classes won the top prize for their grade!!! Woohoo!
Like in year’s past, we had all the kids’ classes to our yard that morning for donuts and pictures. Samantha is up first with Mrs. Brown’s Bees!! Buzz buzz!
Check out Mrs. Brown as the beekeeper!
Could they “bee” any cuter?! No, they could not!
They made quite the entrance to Taylor Swift’s “Are You Ready For It” and then got down to competing!!
Samantha and Evie had a little trouble on the obstacle course! ha!
Samantha was a fierce competitor on Bounce Blast chaos and all the other games! Love my competitive little girl!
Then it was time for tug of war!! Look at these faces! No grit, no glory!!
Victory!
When it came time for awards the Bees took the Spirit/Flair award for their awesome costumes and also the big one!! 2nd Grade Field Day 2023 Champs!
The best way to top off a fantastic year with a favorite teacher! Go Brown’s Bees!!
