June Updates
This doesn't mean life stopped, it just means, life was busy, and Brian was finally able to spend some time getting it back up and running.
So... The updates for June:
Hadley and Easton finished up music lessons for the year. While Easton didn't have a recital, he had a few songs that were easily recognizable. Most recently Sunflower by Post Malone, Swae Lee from the latest Spiderman movie. Spiderman into the Spiderverse. Hadley's song was How Far I'll Go, from the Moana movie. Both had a great year! Hadley's recital had my friend Stacey's kids also playing their piano pieces, so we did lunch after the recital. That was fun!
Jump Rope for Heart was another fun day at the school where the students raised over $4000, and earned a hat day, an extended recess, a free period and a movie day.
We took a day as a family and went to Wonderland, which was fantastic as the line ups are way less before school is out!
I was called for Jury Duty. Which only lasted two days, but I did my part. I actually met up with a friend in the waiting room. Not sure what the chances of that happening are? I was put on a list on day one, which after a few hours meant that I would have to come back the next day at a specific time. The next day they actually called me at home and said not to come in. They had selected their jury.
However, this meant that I had to miss Hadley's class trip to the aquarium in Toronto, but she had a great time anyway! I think her favourite part was spending money in the gift shop at the end and travelling to and from the aquarium by GO train.
I was able to go on Easton's Toronto Zoo trip however, which was quite fun. We saw so much of the zoo! I was impressed with the boys in my group!
Hadley's Drama Club wrapped up with a final show. She made a great new friend named Tiffany. The play was called Sideways stories from Wayside school. She did such a great job with the two parts she played!
We had our 15th wedding Anniversary. Which was pretty low key actually. Dinner out with the family.
All of the grade 3's did Swim To Survive which is a program to make sure that all students in our region have at least some knowledge of what to do should they fall in water. During this, Easton found out that he was supposed to be in level 3... all the while taking actual swimming lessons at level 1 that finished basically at the same time that swim to survive did. So, they said next time we sign him up, we should skip level 2, after a formal test by a supervisor at the pool. Hadley will be heading to level 6 next time.
There was a volunteer tea at the school which didn't have tea at all, just punch and cake, but it was nice to catch up with the people who help out around the school.
The kids finished school and will be heading to grade 4 and 7 respectively. More on that in the next post.
There was a clap out for the grade 8's, and all the staff and students leaving the school. The teacher that I have volunteered in her class for four years is retiring this year and I guess that means I am moving on to other things as well. Margo was/is a fantastic teacher and she will be greatly missed! I do believe she was ready to retire, the rest of us just weren't ready to let her go just yet.
Our principal and a few others are also leaving but mostly in the primary section, which I now have a junior and intermediate, so that doesn't greatly affect us.
The kids and I were ready for summer to begin. We are ready for less routine, warm weather and fun times ahead!
