Kindergarten Graduation & All-School Program

Congratulations to Ryan on his graduation from kindergarten!

Here are a few photos & videos from the ceremony & the all-school program.
The kids & teachers do a tremendous amount of work & memorization to prepare for this program, and it was beautiful evening of praise to our Savior!

These 2 are cousins, classmates, and best buds!

Miss Mary

It’s hard to believe, but our “baby” girl is already 2 years old!

Here are a few of the sweet & silly smiles captured in celebration of her 2nd birthday…

Our kids have had some extra special days at school lately!
To finish off their spring reading program, they had fairy tale character dress-up day…

We also had Visitor’s Day at school recently.
I did not get pictures of all of the kids that day, but here are a couple from the Kindergarten class…

Ryan giving a presentation about his Australian Shepherd.
You can see they had created really neat habitats for their animals!

And last, but not least…
Evan won our school’s National Geographic Bee and then took a test to see if he would qualify to participate in the Iowa State Geography Bee. He had one of the top 100 test scores in the state of Iowa, so he and Mom took a fun little road trip to the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. He did well, answering 5 out of 8 questions correctly in the preliminary rounds, and Mom had a great time watching the Bee. Way to go, Evan! : )
