Last day of school

Trace's last day of Pre-K was last Friday and the girls' last day was today. The end of the school year was a whirlwind with field trips, the pre-K picnic, field days, and classroom parties. The girls both earned trophies today for learning their bible verses each month. My favorite part of the end of the school year is finding out what character quality the teachers gave each of my kids. The character awards are the main qualities the teachers saw the kids exhibit throughout the school year. Trace was given honesty, Kianna was given eagerness, and Kaylee was given discernment and carefulness. The kids all had a great school year and now are excited for summer break.
