Friday was Molly's last day of school. She insisted on bringing her two teachers these enormous balloons. PreK has been a very fun year for her and we are looking forward to a nice number of years with the group of kids that make up her class. All 21 of them are moving on to Kindergarten and will be joined by 9 new kids. Then, God willing, they will move together through the grades. 
A big part of the reason I love the school is the wonderful spirit there. Because so many kids are there for 10 years together, it really becomes a special place for them. Friday was also the last day for the oldest kids as the 8th grade gradulated that night. A school tradition is that all of the classes, teachers and staff line the hallways and Gr. 8 makes a final trip through the school collecting hugs and high fives from all of the people they've come to know and love. There wasn't a dry eye in the building!! It will be very emotional when my kids the big-kid end of that rather than the little kid end!
The only bad part of the day was that Molly wasn't able to wear the "last-day-of-school" dress that she agonized about picking out Her class had their Relay Field Day so they all needed to be in shorts and sneakers. She had so much fun that I think she forgot all about the dress!
It's been a great year!
