We started the morning out in Garhett's class for his award ceremony and a little kick ball. Garhett's teacher had a clever presentation for each student to show her appreciation. Mrs. Hallowell stood at the front of the class holding a certificate and would describe a boy or girl student, the class would try and guess and then she would present that student with the certificate and a candy bar describing their quality. For example: Teacher: "This boy likes music. He likes music so much that he is always drumming on his desk, playing air guitar and asking me "what song is this" as he hums a few bars. Class: "It's Joey". Teacher: "Yes, it's Joey and I would like to give him a symphony candy bar". Clever huh?
Mrs. Hallowell described Garhett as a hardworking and creative student. She rewarded him with a payday candy bar.

After Garhett's class fun, we went to Trent's kindergarten ceremony. I wish I could say graduation, but it wasn't. This was Trent's teacher's first year of teaching and I don't think she understood the importance of a graduation to kindergartners and especially their parents. Her ceremony consisted of passing out a cellophane bag with a certificate in it and having each kindergartner say before receiving their bag, "I'm a First Grader". That didn't go over very well.

Between Garhett's class ending and waiting for Trent's class to begin, the kids had some time to play on the playground. Paige was so excited to be at the big kids' school. Trent was excited to finally be able to cross the "yellow line". Emmett was just happy to be out of the stroller.
LET SUMMER BEGIN!!!!
We finished our end of school celebration with lunch at McDonald's and a swim in the pool!
