5th Grade Graduation!

For those of you who want to attend...Elijah's 5th grade graduation is on the 20th (next wednesday) at 8:30 - 10:30 a.m. in the gym at Amherst. Brian is taking the morning off and we are bringing Zane. I am going to video and take pics to post because I know it is hard to be there in the middle of the work week in the morning. It is not a good time to do it but what do you do! It is still hard to believe. Next year we will going somewhere a little different and hopefully be around a more motivated group of kids. Elijah's teacher said she has never had a class of kids be so unmotivated to do well in her whole teaching career. Elijah has done real well, he (unlike most kids) knows he is accountale for his grades and his behavior so we have not ever had trouble with him in either area. God has been good to us. Elijah is a very, very sensitive and emotional soul so I hope he meets some strong kids with good morals to befriend. Having good friends to encourage you and set good examples is what all kids need. He can be an example but he also needs some good examples. Most of the kids he has met at his school I wouldn't leave alone with my goldfish, much less spend a ton of time with my kids. That's a shame considering their only 11 and 12.
