Year End Celebration of Learning

Last night was the Celebration of Learning event at Cooley. The night is all about allowing the kids to show off all they have learned and accomplished throughout the school year. Each grade does a singing show and then are dismissed to their classrooms to show their families all of the hard work they have done. I left the night feeling so lucky and proud to be Jack and Owen's Mom. They are kind, hard working, smart little kids and above all they are best friends. It was really cool to see!

Here is Jack being nervous while watching Owen's show. He decided he didn't want to go a few minutes before we left the house :)

 Time for some singing!

 Back in Owen's class he showed off all of the projects and writing work he has done. They focused on animals at the end of the year in science, can you tell?

Ella Completes 3 Year Old Preschool

Ella had her last day of 3 year old preschool on Tuesday. Here she is after class celebrating the beginning of her summer vacation!

And for comparison...her first day of school way back in September.

Cute for a Cause

Today Ella and I attended an event to raise money for our friends Relay for Life Team called Cute for a Cause. The event is held at a salon and they have little girls come and get their hair, nails and makeup done then they have a tea party style snack and make a craft. This is the first year we were able to go and Ella LOVED it. Here she is getting her hair done.
