End of the school year

Today was the last day of school not only for the summer but also at their current school. The girls will be heading to hilliard schools next year and they are both very excited about that.

Today was the end of the year school awards. We are proud of both of the girls and the accomplishments they achieved. Both girls received honors for having all "A"s all year long. In Emily's grade there were only 7 kids to receive this honor and in Sarah's grade their were only 2. We are the only family to have both girls acheive this honor. Sarah also got a surprise to find out that her creative writing poem received a superior rating and she was 1 of 2 kids in the entire school to have their work published. Sarah received a fifth place in math olympics competition out of 36 kids from other schools. Emily received a superior and an excellent score on her 2 art projects selected for competition.

The girls are ready to move on to their new schools and begin a new challenge. Way to go ladies!!!! Dad and I are super proud of both of you.

Now Sarah is finishing her 4H cooking project so she can enter it into the franklin county fair. She is learning a great deal about cooking. Let's pray we don't set the house on fire. I will keep you posted on how she does. Yeah! the summer is here.

May updates

We have been very busy over the last month.
First off Sarah had her 13th birthday. Yeah!! We had a party at our house with a sleepover. Our plan was to camp out in a tent and watch a movie outside with the projector. Unfortunately it rained all day. The girls still had fun. We officially have a teenager now.



Sarah also had the opportunity to dissect a frog in science class. I helped the class and had a blast. The kids did a great job and no one got nauseous. I realized how much I miss dissection and anatomy.

Emily was chosen to represent her school for third grade in the ACSI Young Authors and Illustrators competition. She wrote a book called "Daddy loves me" with beautiful pictures in it. She won third place among 5 schools for her grade. Way to go Emily!!!

The rest of the month of May will be busy finishing the end of school activities.

The girls will not be attending Cypress school next year so the end of the year will be bitter sweet for them. They are both very excited to attend their new schools.
