No More School!

School's out for summer! It is bittersweet for us this year because we are not returning to SBC Weekday Preschool in the fall. We've been going there for four years (since Will was one!) and we've absolutely loved the school. The teachers are sweet and loving and it's been a fantastic place for our boys to learn and grow, but the drive is just too long from our new house.

We made thank you gifts for all of the teachers. This year, the boys helped me make orange-poppy seed breads and we paired them with local honey and tea. Will wrote thank you cards for his teachers too!
The last week of school was full of fun activities. Both boys' classes enjoyed Water Day. I snapped a picture of Will all ready to go outside and splash!

Henry's last day was Thursday. As always, each child comes home with a picture book full of memories from the school year. We have four books for Will and two for Henry and it is so fun to go back and look at the photos. They have both grown so much!

Will's last day was Friday. The kids celebrated with a class party, of course! Ms. Amy led the class in a little prayer. And then they got down to the business of eating! Will and Chloe sat together. And fortunately, there is always enough food for Henry too!Will wouldn't let me take his picture with Ms. Jan, the director, so I got one of Jan with Chloe instead! And here's one last photo of Chloe and Will in the same class. Henry thinks he's as big as the "big" kids!The day ended with a little ceremony for the big Pre-K graduates. Will got a hug from Ms. Amy and this certificate!One of the gifts that Will came home with was this beach ball. All the kids in his class signed their names. What a great keepsake! It's always hard when something ends, but I am so thankful that we found SBC and enjoyed four wonderful years there. And I have no doubt that the boys will continue to grow and learn at their new schools next year.
