Year end school fun, trips, and awards 2017-2018

I'm only 5 months behind.  Doing so good, I know!


In my desperation in getting caught up on my blogs, today I'm going to write about the last days of school while my kids are currently on their fall break for the year 18-19.


LCA attended a field trip to the Ark Encounter as a reward for raising $400 or more for our annual fundraiser.  Maynard was able to take off work and went with us.  It was a fun trip.  I'll basically do a photo drop.  Trust me, I'm sparing you tons of pictures.

We had a great day and was thankful for the opportunity to be able to go to the Ark Encounter.  I recommend anyone going if they get a chance.  There's a lot of reading and history that goes along with it, but if you have your kids (or school kids), you won't be able to read it all.  All the kiddos want to do is pet the animals and ride the camels!!!


We had a few fun days planned to finish up the year.  My kids had field trips and party days.  I helped plan a few fun activities for our middle school class.  We have a big group and field trips are kind of hard to plan so I had to be creative.

We walked over to Sonic one afternoon for half price slushes and ice cream.  Boy!  Wasn't Sonic excited to see us come over!!  Ha Ha


Then we had a silly string war day and we made sno-cones.

 On one of our last casual clothes day, the girls told me to wear Nike.  I showed up wearing Nike and they all had on Under Armour.  These girls are something else!!  Joke was on me.

We also had the ice cream truck come to school a couple of times.  They always look forward to that.

Finally, the last day of school was here!!  Hallelujah!  We were so ready.

Josiah finished up 6th grade and had done really well.  He received awards for Honor roll, scripture memorization, Whopper award (great story teller) Convention participation, and 2nd in most paces completed.

Titus finished up 4th grade!  He had a great year.  He won awards for honor roll, scripture memorization, reading challenge, New testament, Science, and Creative writing.  His character trait was gratefulness, excellent attendance, and participation in Jr Convention.

Amelia finished up her 2nd grade year.  She had a great year as well.  She received awards for honor roll, scripture memorization, reading challenge, citizenship award, math and art academics award, forgiveness for character award, and class spirit award.


I was really proud of them! 


We left school and had our year end celebration lunch at Golden Corral!!
