End of The School Year

I can't believe that another school year is over with. It seems like just yesterday that we arrived in Boise, and here we are finishing the first school year here. I think the kids have done amazing as far as adjusting to new schools.

Graison finished the 7th grade with a GPA of 3.2. He had to work hard the 4th quarter to get this GPA, but I am proud of him for sticking with it and getting it accomplished. Graison played football for the Sawtooth Sabercats. Then he decided he wanted to try his luck at tennis. His record was 6-2, and I was pretty impressed for never playing tennis before.

Baylee finished 5th grade with all A's. She scored perfect on her ISATS (equivalent to MAP tests). With her grades and test scores she earned the President's Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence. I was very proud of her as only 5 other kids in the school were awarded this amazing accomplishment. She is also excited because she has math homework over the summer! This will allow her to be in 7th grade math next year.

Baylee had a surprise waiting for her after school yesterday. Her and 11 of her friends were greeted with balloons and then taken around the corner to see this waiting for them.....

The moms had all been in touch and behind this amazing surprise. We wanted the girls to have something special to remember their last day as "elementary students" and on their way to MIDDLE SCHOOL. The look on their faces was priceless! They were all surprised and couldn't wait to get on their way.

They went on a scavenger hunt. The first stop was Target where they had $2 and had to buy the biggest item they could find. The next stop was Edwards movie theatre where they had to find a ticket stub for a certain movie. Then the last stop was b&b photography (scott's work) for a group photo.

I think Baylee will remember her last day of school this year and her first ride in a Limo. They had a great time and it was so worth the planning!
