THE BEST DAY OF SCHOOL: THE FIRST DAY AND THE LAST DAY

Grandson Elijah left Capshaw School and 3rd grade behind this afternoon with A’s and B’s for the whole school year. Way to go, Elijah! I didn’t think either one of us was going to make it through common core math!

He was very proud to receive his class’s citizenship award for the 4th nine weeks. It's a nice honor because his class voted for him.

Granddaughter Shelby said her final goodbye to Avery Trace Middle School with A’s and B’s all year long. Way to go, Shelby!

Next year, she’s off to high school – “a little fish in a big pond” she says. 

So proud of these two and all their hard work this school year! Love you both!!

BECAUSE I’M HAPPY! SCHOOL’S OUT!

Today was the last day of 7th grade for granddaughter Shelby. Needless to say, she’s happy because it’s done. Here she is posing with her fave after school drink.

Big smile but tearful eyes ~ she’s sad because she had to say goodbye to friends, especially those who she won’t see again because they will be moving away. Bittersweet day for her. 8th grade next year! Wow!

Grandson Elijah spent the last day of 2nd grade at a Nashville Sounds baseball game with his classmates. His friend’s mom snapped this shot of them at the game. They’re team mates on their Diamond Backs baseball team, and they play their last game this evening. I didn’t get to see him today as usual, but I heard he had a good time at the Sounds game. 3rd grade for Elijah next year! He and Shelby have worked hard in school this year and made the awesome grades to prove it. Proud of you two!

Happy 53rd Birthday today to my bro-in-law Don Foy!
