Last day of school!

Maddie's last day of finals was May 23!

Yay -- junior year is in the books and it was a good year!

The Landscaping Club was fun for her and as she said,

a very chill club - no drama at all - gotta like that!

Last final is over and done!

Her classes were good and she especially enjoyed

U.S. History with Sister Jacquelyn.

Sister J is an amazing teacher and all the students

love her!  So happy that M had her for history

and worked hard every day to do a good job!

And on to summer break!

A little trip is planned and lots of volunteer work and

even working in the Rickster's office sometimes.

She and I have a big, long "summer bucket list!"

Happy summer!

First Day of Her Fabulous Junior Year

And all of sudden . . .
she's a junior in high school!

She was up early today even though school had a late start

and off on her own in the big red jeep!

Bummer that someone was in her assigned parking spot

this morning, but she found an empty one.

1st Grade

It felt a little strange that I wasn't dropping her off at school --

wasn't she just starting first grade????

We have tagged a word of the day/year for 

junior year and it is FABULOUS!

If we say it, think it and believe it, it will happen.

This year one of her friends has the locker below hers!

Yes, finally she was assigned an upper locker.

That made her so happy!

She took a bunch of snacks today as she thinks

she and Gracie may be starving at either the beginning or

end of the day and  need some nourishment!  :)

She's planning to check our some clubs and try new things

this year!

I just love her so and hope she has the best year ever!
