Garrett the Graduate

So it is official I am old! Garrett has graduated 6th grade which is elementary school here, and will be moving on to (gulp) Jr. High! What is wrong with this picture! He is still so young! I wish that kids could stay young forever! I went to watch the celebration of being finished with 6th grade. First they did a slide show of the year and gave the kids diploma's. Then they went outside for games. It is so fun to watch the kids. They all have a lot of fun together. That is one thing I will really miss about elementary school. The grades are small enough that they all get to know each other and really get along! It was a fun day for all! Garrett has had a great teacher this year that had to step in 3 months after school started. They had one teacher for 2 months and she had some personal struggles and had to quit. Well the next teacher only lasted 2 weeks! So finally Mrs. Rawle came and although it was a ruff start has really helped these kids! She has done some really fun things with them and helped them to blossom. It is really great to have wonderful teacher's out there that are willing to work with kids and make learning fun! Thanks Mrs. Rawle for all you have done this year for not only Garrett but all of the kids! Congratulations Garrett on finishing 6th grade!

You are old! You are just figuring that out? Hee Hee.... Just kidding, you are the coolest, youngest mom around, and even if Garrett doesn't get your humor...I think you are quite funny!
