Last Week of School

Field days. Parties. Award ceremonies. No homework. Fun & games.

It must be the last week of school!

Packer and Holland got out of school on June 8th, but I think “school” really ended about one week earlier. The last week of school was one party after another. One day was all about being safe for summer – they got to bring their bikes to school and learn about bike safety and how to be safe at the pool, etc. Another day was field day with potato sack races, volleyball, and other track and field events – of course this is the day that it rained nonstop so all of the events had to be moved inside. Another day was Hawaiian day with picnic lunches outside. One day was "game day" where kids got to bring their favorite board games to play with their friends. It was also spirit week, so the kids got to replace their school uniform each day with clothes from their favorite decade, beach wear, crazy hats, and clothes worn backwards. Packer got an award at the school assembly for winning first place in the speech competition.

All in all, it was a worthless week as far as education goes. With summer around the corner, reading, writing and arithmetic are tough to focus on. But the boys definitely had a great time for their last week of school.
