Brooke and Linda - we pulled it off! Nick and his friend Chandler Nick cooling off at the celebration
So last Wednesday was the last day of school and with it came the beloved/dreadful (depending how you look at it) fifth grade graduation/celebration. Every year at Sangre Ridge, the fifth graders are treated to a day of fun -- pizza, DJ, blow ups, caricature, games -- etc. The day starts off with a graduation ceremony and then an afternoon of fun. The kids look forward to this day since they were in kindergarten, because when they are younger and at recess they can see the fifth graders having their fun. Nick received two awards in graduation. The gold presidential academic award (requires a 3.5 GPA for at least three semesters) and was also selected as one of two students from his class to receive the SHS alumni award which was awarded to a student who demonstrates leadership and academic skills in and out of the classroom. Ask me if I was a proud mom? Back to the celebration....so last year for some insane reason I decided to sign up to co-chair the event. It turns out, my good friend Linda Bryson signed up also so we planned it together. Linda did so much work and even though it took a lot of time and it felt very overwhelming we pulled it off. It turned out great. The kids had a good time and the weather was perfect. Having said that, I am very happy the position is spoken for next year when Zack will have his celebration. I'll just sit back and watch.
