SCHOOL'S OUT!!!

WOOOO HOOOO!!! We had our final day of school today. Jadon is officially done with Kindergarten and Allee with fourth grade. Today was so much fun. We had Fine Arts Day this morning. Jadon's class did enactment and recitation of some Ogden Nash poetry called Carnival of the Animals. (hopefully I have that correct) Anyways, they all dressed up as different animals in a carnival. Jadon was lion and the whole thing was so well done and super cute. Until the end that is - Jadon and his good friend David bumped into each other (I think Jadon went the wrong way) and David got a pretty good knock on the head. I didn't know what happened - but was soooo glad to learn that it was an accident! He received the godly character quality of patience, which I can definitely see in Jadon when he is working on a difficult project or task or learning a new skill, such as in soccer. I hope to help him carry this quality over to his relationship with his brother this summer!

Allee's class recited the poem "Sick" by Shel Silversteen. It was also very cute and they each dressed up with a different ailment described in the poem. Allee received Honor Roll medal for the year. She did so well and always did it without complaining. She received the godly character quality of kindness. I can very much see this as part of character that defines her. She is very kind and thoughtful to those around her.

So then we went to a swim party and the kids had so much fun while the moms got a chance to talk. We have all made some wonderful friends this year and I am truly blessed by the sweet families we have come to know. We are so thankful for this school - it has been very evident that this school was founded through prayer and for the purpose of bringing God the glory in helping to equip children. It continues in that purpose and it has been amazing to see how the Lord is using different people with their varying gifts but with a singular focus to know and glorify the Lord and brought them together in this school to work together in teaching these children. I hope I am making sense - I just love how so many different people can work together with the same goal but who all do different jobs to make it all happen. And we have been able to see God at work in providing for this school family. We have a new school home - a permanent home for the first time and it has been provided in some amazing ways. Our Mom's In Touch group that met weekly to pray for the kids, teachers, and school, continually prayed that somehow this new home for the school would be provided in a way that would bring God, not man, the glory. And the way it all happened, could not be more evident that the Lord provided in a way only He could do.

Anyways, it was a wonderful year, but we are so glad for summer!! I can't wait to sleep in a bit tomorrow!
