The End of the School Year....Finally!

I was beginning to think the school year would never end.  It was a terrific year, but June 28th just seems so late into the summer when you are used to getting out at the end of May.  Here are some highlights from our end of the year celebrations.

I helped with Thomas's field day.  Here is he doing the egg race.

The senior's shoes over the entrance to ISB.  You know the end of the year has come when you see this!

Allison's last day of 6th grade.

Another year is over....

Thomas's last full day of school.  He had one more 1/2 day to go.

 The last full day of school is a special one for the sixth graders.  They attend the Moving Up Ceremony.  It is a special ceremony to honor their transition from sixth grade to middle school.  They are released after the ceremony....which is probably their favorite part.

Sixth grade friends looking beautiful on the last day.

A special gift for Ms. Laphkas....a Kindle!  She loved it!!!

Great minds think alike :)

Ms. Smith and the 6th grade quartet

The ISB 6th grade class.  Allison is the one that looks like a lost puppy in the bottom right corner.  Do you think she's nervous???

We were so proud of Allison playing in the quartet.

Looking so mature.  Stop growing up!

Celebrating with friends (the super sleuths) :)

Proud parents

Special friends have made this school year a memorable one!

A picture with the Head of ISB...why not??

Allison and Ms. Smith....her orchestra director

Ms. Zeiders....the ES principal

Even the moms think alike.

Allison and her teacher, Ms Laphkas

Lunch after the ceremony.  I love this picture.  Maybe it's because I adore all of the girls in it.

Saying goodbye to our friends for the summer.

And, saying "See you soon" to our friends who are moving back to the US. :(  More on friends leaving in the next post.

Thank you ISB for another fantastic school year.

Until next time,
Wendy
