Today was the last day of school 08'. Pretty darn exciting. Trent could hardly sleep last night. He woke up in the middle of the night- I laid down next to him- he turned over & in a sleep state of mind said, "guess what mom?- tomorrow is the last day of school." I know, go back to sleep sweetie. 
Our school has a tradition. Every year the whole school goes outside. They sing the school song, have someone play or sing the national anthem, say the pledge of allegiance, the sixth graders lower the flag- then the principal declares school out for summer! It's darling & sweet & I even started to tear up there for a bit. There is this great patriotic proud feeling in the air. I love this school.
You could have heard a pin drop- the kids were so respectful.
Here is trent with his FANTASTIC teacher! She has made such a difference in his life. Teachers are so important- especially when it comes to kids like trent. He cried & cried when we left. 
This is his resource teacher. She gives the extra help he needs. She is also FANTASTIC. Oh boy, I feel like I owe so much to these women. They are my hero's this year.
Chloe & one of her best pals were so sad to see the year end. Their teacher made a scrapbook at least an inch & a half thick for every kid in her class - amazing!
Trent & Lily
Trent can be a tough but he's really just a softy. He insisted on walking home with me arm in arm crying. He did the same thing last year. I asked one of the neighbor kids to take our picture. Something tells me this won't last.
So- to start off our summer right we are having a little bit of easy bake oven time!

That sounds like a great last day of school tradition there! Something to feel sort of... momentous. I love that the principal declares the school out for summer.
And I love that Trent cries and walks home arm in arm with you. Awwww.
I'm with Michelle awwww too cute. My girls just asked me not to pick them up because they wanted to walk home...how's that. I never have been to the end of school flag ceremony. I guess I really should have been there being PTA Pres. and all...did you see Linda?
Karrie~ I did see linda but she didn't have any official job or anything- actually I saw her before it started so I don't know if she stayed for the whole thing. I'm just a softy- but it is truly one of my favorite things they do all year.
Cute pictures to document the end of a school year. I too love the way the principal declares it is summer! :) I love this time of year.
The picture with you and Trent walking home is so sweet. I love Trent! It looks like yesterday was a great day. Love you--Megan
What a great school tradition! I think it is good to get the kids patriotic whenever possible! Cute pictures--my kids cry too! And sometimes me as well! :(
Great photos! This was really a hard day for Lexi...Doug took her to school crying and then when I picked her up from school...still crying. An emotional day for the kids.
