End of School Year

The end of the school year brings both proud moments as well as a bit of sadness as we realize we are down to about 4 years with these kids. Feels like just yesterday, the kids were getting on to the bus for the very first time. Canyon and Presley both had great school years - both working very hard and both earning great grades.

One of Canyon's end of year assignments included a "TEN" talk. Kind of like a Ted Talk. He and 3 classmates from Honors English gave a great presentation on "Brainwashing".



Presley was honored with the President's Education Award, the highest academic honor, awarded for 2 great years of academic excellence.



We said goodbye to our favorite bus driver, Rick, who has driven both Presley and Canyon over the last 11 years. Rick, gets dressed up for Fancy Fridays, stops to say to Ron whenever he's passing by our house, and waits for our kids as they are racing towards the bus. Great guy who always has a smile on his face!



And the week school ended, we were blessed with a quick visit from Uncle Don who was able to stay with us for a quick but awesome 48 hours.
