Another School Year Over.....

It was very hard to say goodbye to this school year for a number of reasons.
Reason #1: I had such an amazing class. I had 24 of the kindest, sweetest, hardest working students. I am really going to miss this class.
Reason #2: This was one of the best school years Caity has had in a long time! Everyone had warned me about 6th grade and I went into the year a little scared. I was told that it would be a rough year for her, the girls would get mean and catty and Caity would develop "6th grade attitude." I am happy to report that none of that happened! This was an incredible year for her. She grew up so much and is such a responsible and confident girl! She won the speech contest at school, took 4th in the district speech contest, and was on Student Council this year. She ended the year with 4.0 GPA! If the girls got mean and catty this year I never heard about it and she never let it bother her. She has such a strong sense of who she is and is so incredibly confident in herself, I love that about her!
Reason #3: My girls are growing up too fast. I now officially have a 6th grader and one in junior high.
Reason #4: I had to say goodbye to a good friend and co-worker who is moving out of state. I hate that things are changing so much at school.

It still doesn't seem like school is really over. Maybe it's this crazy weather. It's hard to say goodbye, but I am looking forward to spending lots of time with my family this summer!
