Dinner out to celebrate the end of 6th grade

We went out for dinner at Weber Grill to celebrate! Richard and Marcia were in town for a few days to visit, so they were able to join us!

Last day of 6th grade!

We made it! The last day of 6th grade is a big deal at our school... because it means you are heading to middle school next year! They have a nice breakfast for the kids and parents in the morning. And they do a "clap-out" after school (they clap the kids in when they start kindergarten, so we clap them out when they finish 6th grade). After school, some of the parents held a lunch picnic for the kids at a nearby park. So many fun activities!

The 6th graders wear their Hawaiian shirts one more time!

At the breakfast, they handed out pins to all the 6th graders.

They also did a slide show. Each parent sent in three pictures.

The school put together these placemats with pictures from kindergarten on. So fun to see how much they've changed over the years! We also got a picture of the school as a "send-off" since we are leaving Whittier for good.

They had a selfie station for the kids to take pictures. They also brought this to the picnic afterwards.

Morgan is SO sad to be leaving Mrs. Zagorski - she loves her!

Zagorski vs Miller tug of war

It's kind of hard to see, but Morgan got totally knocked over in the tug of war! She's the one in the blue shorts sprawled out in the grass!

It was such a fun day! Oh and we had to make an impromptu visit to the orthodontist again today! Morgan lost a few brackets in the back of her mouth thanks to some peanut M&Ms! She actually swallowed two of them... oops!

Field Day

Thursday was Field Day at school. The weather was a little better than yesterday at the zoo. Each grade has a different shirt to wear. 6th grade was this purple heather shirt.

Field Day Hair!

Poor Morgan was dealing with a very sore mouth because of the new braces. Her whole right side of her mouth was super swollen! Hoping it gets better soon!

Zoo Field Trip

Wednesday was the annual field trip to the zoo for the Safety Patrol. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and rainy. But, of course, any day off school is worth it! :) I chaperoned. The girls had fun with their friends! We're wrapping up 6th grade!
