Summer Vacation

It is official - Summer Vacation is here.

Or, as our littlest guitar hero would say, "School's Out for Summer!"

Before we get to far into summer I have to take some time and brag on Joshua. Last Friday we went to the end of the year assembly at Red Hawk Ridge Elementary School where Joshua received the High Flyer award. Each class selects one child that best displayed the SOAR characteristics.

• Safety
• Ownership
• Attitude
• Respect

After the ceremony Joshua received a booklet created by all of his classmates listing the reasons he was selected. Below are some of my favorites.

• Congratulations Josh for all the hard wark you have ben dwoing all through the year. I am riley praod of you.

• grajalashen josh you have ben chosen for the high flyer sum day.
  

• der Joshua you shud be happy and like osum as a hi flier.

• Congratulations Joshua! I'm proud that your a high flyer. I like the way you soar.

Brian and I completely agree with that last sentiment. It has been so awesome to see Joshua thrive in first grade, taking his energy and becoming a positive part of the classroom.

The decision to enroll the boys into public school was one that we wrestled with for a long time. Now, at the end of our first year, I can tell you that it was the right decision. It is also very clear that a key to this success is the teachers that worked with Jake and Josh.

Mrs Goodman, Mrs Von K, Mrs Green, Mr Gunnett and all of the staff at RHR - you are amazing. Thank You so much for a great year!
