End of Elementary School

Fifth grade is over and Nathaniel will go to middle school next year.  The whole family is done with elementary school now.  Hmmmm.  Anyway, Nathaniel has really enjoyed the activities at the end of the school year.  First was open house where he displayed the projects he completed over the year in school

Playing with pals on the playground.

They loved playing tag on the structure. 

 I think Nathaniel will miss recess next year in middle school.  But, I won't miss the 1/2 cup of sand that came home in his shoes every day.  The weekend before school let out, Nathaniel's buddy Ethan came for a visit before his family moves out of state.

Hey guys!  Look at us (way up on the rocks).

 During the last week of school the fifth graders had an activity day where they played games on the lawn and had a picnic.

Nathaniel and Riley compete in the tire race.

Getting ready for the water balloon fight.

Fun day.

 A culmination ceremony was held on the last day of school to recognize the achievements of the fifth graders.

Why did this picture show up in this orientation and why can't I rotate it?



Refreshments with Willey and Riley.

 That night Nathaniel attended an 11 year old scout camp with his old patrol from S. Pas.  It was pretty exciting for him to finish elementary school.  He enjoyed being with so many friends, old and new.  We are proud of the great kid he has grown into.
