Goodbye 5th Grade

On the last day of school, the 5th graders had a "graduation" of sorts.  Only, they call it a Celebration of Learning at Gunstream Elementary.  You see, Frisco I.S.D. believes that only Seniors graduate.  This is a great concept.  However, I believe that Kindergartners, 5th and 8th graders deserve a graduation, too.  Nope, not in Frisco.  Thankfully, we cheat a little with our Celebration of Learning for the 5th graders.  They call your name.  You walk across the stage.  You get a folder full of certificates.  But, for the record, it is NOT a graduation.

Mrs. Carroll made her boys tuck in their shirts.  If I had known, I certainly would have made him wear a belt!

MaMaw and Grady attended Jonathan's Celebration of Learning with me.  Fred didn't attend.  He got confused, and didn't realize that it was such a big deal, so he didn't plan on taking off.  Jess, of course, had finals.  Jonathan was excited to have the three of us there.

We are so excited to have a big 6th grader headed off to Middle School!  Way to go, Jonathan!  We love you!
