Last Day of 4th Grade, June 5, 2015

Ok, today I am playing MAJOR catch up.  And even though they will be in reverse order once I post all the events from summer, I'm doing it this way to help keep things streamlined for myself.  It's not easy shifting pictures around on blogger once you upload them all.  So I'll start back in June and work my way to August.  You'll just happen to read about August first as you scroll down the page.  Sorry!  :)

The last day of 4th grade was June 5.  Max had to leave school early that day for a swim meet at Miami University.  Grandma and Grandpa were up from TX to watch even!  He was super sad to leave school that day; he had an excellent year with Mrs Payne and Mrs Eshbaugh.  His favorite classes were math and science and he loved the different experiments they did (rocket launching and so forth… honestly it's been three months, I can't remember!  haha).

Below are some photos from the first day of 4th grade (beginning of the photos) and the last day of 4th grade (end of the photos) for comparison.  I am pretty sure Flip changed more than Max did!  How cool to see the difference…

At the end of the year assembly in the cafeteria, Max was one of about 25 kids in the 4th grade to receive the Presidential Gold Star Award, given to those who earned straight As all four quarters.  Pretty cool stuff!  I was able to sneak a few photos of that as well.

Also during our end of the year celebrations, Flip turned 1!  His birthday was May 30.  We took him to the K&W for a doggy cup, complete with a dog bone treat.  Bad idea.  (why did we think it would be ok to give a dog dairy??)  He was sick the entire next day.  Not cool.

Another successful school year!
