Nothing this year has been quite the same as before. As we hear so often on the news "these are unprecedented times". The end of the school year seemed to follow the unprecedented theme. The last week was filled with less classwork, a field day and saying goodbye to teachers all which are typical but the way we went about that was different than ever before. We went to multiple parades so the kids could say goodbye to teachers, staff and a parade to say goodbye to Mr. Dobe, an extra special principal that all three kids have loved and learned so much from. We enjoyed a family field day at home where the goal of getting very wet seemed to be very similar to every other field day the kids have had. The kids especially enjoyed having less work on the last week of school and worked very hard to have their assignments wrapped up so they could get a couple extra days of summer. This year has been challenging and we are so proud of how much the kids have grown both physically and emotionally.

| At home field day games! |

| No field day games required water...the kids had to change that. |

| Over the last week of school, we participated in three parades. Each one was very meaningful and fun for the kids. It gave them a sense of closure to their year. Last year I would have thought it would be crazy to say goodbye in this fashion but who knew that simply driving by and waving to someone and saying goodbye would mean so much in a time like this. |

| The last day off school, remote or not, requires ice cream to celebrate! |
