Montgomery graduates!

Montgomery graduates! Current mood: happy My boy is growing up. Seems like just months ago he was going off to preschool, and yet here we are... Yesterday, he graduated from 5th grade. The school had a very loooong awards ceremony, where they stopped and thanked every child for every hand they ever held, every t crossed and i dotted, every pushup done and every spelling bee won. Did I say it was long? Wars were fought, kings overthrown, I think the US deficit doubled. Montgomery brought home certificates for Sunshine Math, Spelling Bee, Perfect Attendence, A-B honor roll, and his graduation certificate itself. And then as the icing on the cake, perfect 5's on both reading and math on his FCAT . We celebrated with a near - rained out cookout, and some Key Lime Pie. A few "Great Job!" cards (Nanny and I need to shop at different card shops it looks like - or the shop we go to needs a bigger selection! ). A great end to a wonderful 6 years at Neptune Beach Elementary, from K - 5. Only a few short weeks until middle school begins at Kirby Smith . Summer is ahead, with long days of no homework, lots of sun, and a few camps. What more could a 10 year old want?
