Pajama's and Blue Hair

No, you are not imagining it, the kids and the adults ARE in their PJ's!!!

Tomorrow is Noleigh's last day of school and they made sure that today would be one to remember. It was the Kiwanis Terrific Kid's assembly, which is held every nine weeks. Basically, if a child sets a goal and meets, they are given a certificate at the Terrific Kids assembly. Noleigh was one of the children awarded for meeting her goal of listening to the teacher. Story Bob, the older gentleman in the picture, is the Kiwanis representative to Barron. He is a retired general and loves to get the children to "Huahh." The kids love him and he loves being in the school with the children.

Also, because the older kids reached their goal for AR points, Mrs. Wallen, the schools principle rewarded the school by having a PJ day AND coming to school with her hair in the school colors. So the lady with blue and white hair IS in fact the principal of the school. Mrs. Wallen has been amazing to work with. We just love her and will definitely miss her as we change schools.

As if PJ day and blue hair was not enough, Noleigh's class had their end of the year party. I had the good fortune of picking up 40 Happy Meals from McDonald's and transporting them to the hungry pack of 1st graders. I was able to stay for the party and witness just how ready the children are for summer. It has been unbearably hot today, so the kids outdoor party turned into an indoor free-for-all. Noleigh's teacher is also on maternity leave, so I feel very sorry for the dear sub who has filled her spot.

WHAT A FUN DAY!!

Hiram's Last Days of School

June 3rd was Hiram's Preschool Graduation. As you can tell from the pictures, he was very interested in the event. It was a very neat ceremony. The children sang, walked across the bridge, and overall just made us all laugh. Hiram graduated with his friend Evan (to Hiram's left), who he has known almost since birth. Evan is two weeks older than Hiram and they have known each other since they were about 6 weeks old. It was very neat to see them share this moment together. To Hiram's right is his classmate Jaydn, who will be at Cooper next year.

The day after the graduation, the children had the opportunity to have class together one last day. This is a picture of Hiram and most of the children from his class. Mrs. Mary and Ms. Sharon, his teachers, are also shown in the picture. Hiram's good friend was Kevin, the only other boy in the first row. He loved his pre-school and has told me he misses them. Tonight we went to Chic fil a for dinner and ran into his teacher, Miss Mary. He was very happy to see her. She was amazing with him and I know that my friends who will be going to that school will be happy with her as well.

Hiram Sings

Hiram has been preparing for his big day today. He is "graduating" from preschool today and has been practicing his songs for a few weeks. He wanted to share them with us and got a little camera shy once the tape started rolling. I think only two lines got stuck in his head!

It has been a fun week with him and his singing. He was awarded the "Super Singer"award in Primary because he was actually singing. He has never been a singer so that was impressive. So was the fact he was willing to sing for the camera. Way to go Hiram!
