It is very hard to believe that the kids wrapped up their first year of school here in PA. Where does time go? Maddy adjusted very well to her knew school and was pretty busy throughout the year between band practice and choir rehearsals after school. She had several opportunities to perform at the end of the year with band and choir.
She has enjoyed learning to play the clarinet this year. She will be participating in the summer band program as well.
This was the concert on the blacktop, and it was hot. HOT. It was fun to look around seeing several kids waving frantically as Olivia and I walked through the crowd. Kind of one of those moments that you take in and realize how much has happened and how many people we have met over the school year.
Why is Olivia holding this little pebble? Why did I take a picture of it? Why am I sharing this with you? Just so you can see it in her hand after she blew it out of her nose!!! She said "I don't know why I did it" Did I mention to you it was HOT?
Maddy performing at the awards ceremony.
One of the many awards she was recognized for during the ceremony. Maddy racked up with certificates for library helper, choir, art, classroom, citizenship, music and 2 band certificates. I could safely say that she has had a fun and full first year in PA.
Here is Maddy's principal, Mr. Selvenis. He will see 3 out of 4 of our kids come through the school.
This is Maddy's teacher this year, Mrs. Millar. Maddy had a great year academically and socially. We are looking forward to having new friends hang out over the summer.
What a great school year!
With so many schools cutting back on fine arts (music) programs, that's great that she can be in band AND choir! Those are two skills she can use the rest of her life.
