McKay 5th Grade Graduation

I can't believe our last kid in elementary school just graduated!!  

The PTO put this fun sign at the school for the kids to come at take pictures by.  McKay got to be on the PTO media site with this great picture.

He liked the jumping ones.

And he checked out the cute little library they have out by the chicken coop.

I love that our school has a chicken coop.  The kids get to watch the baby chicks hatch in science and then help with the chickens.  

All dressed and ready for graduation.  Of course we had to get some pictures of this handsome kid.





Our principal Mr. Hershey.

McKay's awesome teacher Mrs. McBrayer.


At least he still waves at us, even if he doesn't look at us when he does it :)

The kids each got a medal and a certificate. 


The kids each got a professional picture taken after the ceremony and they printed it and gave it to the boys that same day.

When Palmer graduated from 5th grade, we bought him a candy bar bouquet in a graduation diploma vase.  We kept the vase and have made the same bouquet for all of the other boys when they graduated from 5th grade.  McKay was our last boy to get the bouquet.  Now we can use the vase for Palmer's graduation next year. 

After school we did a little photo shoot with the three best friends.  They went and got their teacher out of her classroom to take pictures with her.  She has been an amazing teacher and given these boys an amazing year.  I think she has loved all of their crazy.  She's definitely been a good sport.  

Checking out the chickens.  McKay will miss those chickens.  He has told me that chickens are his favorite animal.  


Whenever you listen to these boys talk, they are making up stories and songs and lots of nonsense. 



I really hope these boys stay friends!  They are just so fun together.  Finn and Alex are going to Otwell Middle School and McKay is going to Hendricks.  


I jus love this friendship. 



Last day of school!
The 5th graders got to do a last walk through of Sawnee Elementary with all of the grades clapping for them.  McKay and Alex carried signs about evil seals or the Sparrow Empire.  Something nutty I'm sure. 

It's been a wonderful year!
