Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
As the oldest kids in the school, the 6th graders get some special treats all year long. It’s nice to be the top dogs!!
On the first day of school the pulled them all out of class to take a big group picture in front of the school sign. It turned out great!
All the cute 6th grade girls…
and the handsome too cool for school 6th grade boys!
They also got some donuts and a surprise for their locker.
It’s going to be a fun final year at MBE!
Back to school!!
The kids headed out yesterday morning for 6th grade…
4th grade…
and 2nd grade! (in purple of course!)
It’s their last first day all together at MBE. I’m going to soak up watching them all walk to school together one last year!
Thankfully they all had a great day and were all smiles when they came home! Thumbs up from all (including Maxwell who was off with his friends at Gilchrist!)
School days, school days!
Today is the day! Back to school! We loved summer and sure are sad to see it go but we all thrive on routine and schedule and I know it will be a great year. Yesterday was a fun and full day! Samantha was at the school early and got to see some friends…
and be a mentor for a new girl in her grade.
Maxwell held court with his minions all day on the corner selling lemonade and cookies! That boy takes advantage of an opportunity!
Everyone got to meet their teacher. It’s totally not cool for a 6th grader to take a picture with his teacher but a 4th grader will still oblige (begrudgingly)….
and a 2nd grader will do it happily!!
As for me? I was PTOing really hard all day! From 7:30 to 2:30! Everything got done and everything went great. More to come on the PTO efforts but needless to say, it would not have gotten done nearly as well had my trusty assistant, GJ, not been in town to help!!
A great day all around and I know today will be the same! Back to school!!
Just a few more pics from school that trickled in last minute…
Spencer’s animal project. The electric eel! He did a great job!
Samantha’s class on the last day with Mr. Aaron who is leaving! He’s been the Assistant Principal for years and is now going to be the Principal at one of the other MB elementary schools. We are really going to miss him!
Samantha with her awesome teacher, Mrs. Jones!
A great year!
Maxwell’s class came up with their own idea and decided to be a sort of rabid football team – Rogers’ Rabid Raiders! They all dressed up as football players, cheerleaders, or referees and Miss Rogers was the coach. They even had a lion mascot!
Maxwell’s class met in GJ’s yard to get ready. I had plenty of Krispy Kremes for them too!
Let’s go Raiders!
Tug of war!!
Miss Rogers’ class won the Spirit Award!! That’s the award for best costumes, flair and enthusiasm! Woohoo! They came in 2nd place overall. What a fun day!
All of these kids had a super fun day and I’m so grateful they all had fantastic teachers that went all out with them! Miss Rogers was an especially good sport!
Go Rogers’ Rabid Receivers!
Field Day is the best!
