And just like that the school year is over! We are steadily getting closer and closer to the kids growing up and leaving the nest. I'm starting to panic with the girls and trying to hold on to my boys! Daxton had Mrs. Ramsey. She was such a good fit for him. She loved him with all of his quirks and helped him thrive in that classroom.
Kelton had Ms. Weiher. Their class were her Muppet babies and she their Muppet mama. It was a classroom full of structure and expectation. She was just the right amount of silly for him which was perfect.
McKenzie thrived in 7th grade. We were invited to an end of the year awards ceremony for her GPA-straight A's for this girl! They were also handing out character and academic awards within the core. After they had finished math, science, English, etc. Mr. Wedermyer stood up to announce the top girl in Timerbline Core, a girl who showed determination, respect, kindness, responsibility, and academic excellence...it was McKenzie! Her face was full of disbelief as she walked up to receive her certificate. I was bursting with pride seeing her up there.
Cambrie had a great year of growth as a sophomore. She learned how to advocate for herself and worked so hard to overcome some challenges she's had this year. She had a couple of teachers who cared for the person more than just the grades, let her share daily dad jokes with them, and even use the emergency shower in science just to see what would happen. Thank you amazing teachers! It was also a year with growing independence. She lettered for the first time this year and is excited to see if she can letter in more areas next year.
So many of her friends are receiving their drivers licenses, which means that I am seeing a lot more of this, her and her friends taking off on their own! I am so excited for everything she gets to experience as a teenager and hopes she loves these years.
