End of school drama.....

Today was the last day of school for Will and Sariah. Will was a little sad about it ending, and Sariah only cared about making sure she got to take her "Birthday treat" (we kept forgetting to take it the other three times in the year to celebrate). But she remembered and then forgot her teachers present. We took the kids to breakfast this morning to celebrate.
Then Josh and I sat and waited for the happy smiling kids to get off the bus. Sariah was happy but Will came off like a storm cloud about to explode. At the end of the school year each child gets a note telling them who their new teacher will be next year. Sariah is thrilled with her teacher , as am I. William was expecting to see the Advanced Learning Group teachers name. It wasn't their!!!! It was a regular teachers name.
Needless to say I was a storm cloud after that little announcment. So I called the Districts main number and the nice lady transferred my to a answering machine. I left a message. Then I had Will go and look for the paper that said he made it into the program, called that number. Got and answering machine. All I have ever gotten was a freakin answering machine everytime I call for a specific number. So I guess we will just have to wait until someone decided to listen to their messages and gets back to us. So this is going to be a long weekend. Enjoy the picture of the sunset.

How would you like this for a librarian?


This is a picture of our Librarian at the kids' school. She would put this costume on for our reading assemblies last year. The theme last year was something about finding treasure through reading or something like that. Well this year our school has been working on reading 1,855,000 minutes and Monday they announced that the school not only made the goal but surpassed it by 55,000 minutes. Now mind you that it the entire elementary. But the kids were really excited about that. Well this was also the last assemble for the principal since he is leaving at the end of the year. So "Capt. Jack" made an appearance again just for him. Capt. Jack also presented the school with their prize for completing their goal. Each kid get two tickets to the local baseball team game for this summer. By the way "he" arrived in that kayak on the floor carried by the four football players who helped give out four bikes that the kids also had to read for. She actually does a pretty good impersonation of him.
