Other May highlights!

Oh my goodness, looking back every month I realize how full our days are and how truly blessed we are!!  I wanted to document some of the other highlights from our month of May :) One day, I'll be glad I did!!  So here are a few ...  

- Emerson's class collected recyclable materials over the past few months and put them to use this month, building robot's!  They then wrote a description of the robot and presented their robots to other classes and parents. 
I was able to leave work 1/2 hr early to catch her presentation.  I'm so glad I could make it, I was so proud of her :)  She  robot presentation was excellent and she was even recruited by Mme. Khair to assist the other students in presenting and translating their presentations from French to English for the students and parents who didn't speak french.  She's such a strong student and is so proud (as she should be!)!
- Mom, Lindsay and I went out for dinner and movie for Lindsay's birthday.  We had a great time and ate more sushi than we thought we could ;) Our evening together made us excited for our girls trip in July!!

- At the end of the month we celebrated the end of our Sunday school year with our finale and BBQ.  I love our Church community and friends and we always enjoy finale day!!  Students move from the pre-beginner's class to kid's praise when they move into grade 1 and recieve a cross pendant, so Reese Reese was presented with her pendant.  And when students move into grade 4, they recieve a special bible from the Church, so Blake was presented with his bible.  Sunday school will start again in September and all three kids will be in kid's praise!  For the past 5 years I've been volunteering in the pre-beginner's class so I guess I am also graduating to kid's praise ;)  I'm glad Sunday school break's for the summer months, as we would miss a lot with camping and vacation and I hate to miss.
- Blake started 3 on 3 this month and is excited to be playing with his cousin Colby and a few of his Saints teammates!

- The school staff hosted the annual volunteer drive-thru breakfast at school!  This is always a fun event and the parents really appreciate the recognition :)
Some of our awesome school staff, at the volunteer drive-thru breakfast!
The kids all decorate brown lunch bags, which are filled with cream, sugar, a stir stick and a muffin!
And now it is June and we are soooo close to Summer Vacation, we are getting excited!!!
