Zachary's 5th Grade Graduation & Last Day of Elementary School

The PTA meeting this evening involved a send of to the 5th graders. They gave the children each a sampling of their work from each of their years in elementary school. The teachers also put together a video of the children enjoying their 5th grade year of school together.

This is the last day of school. The teachers are ready for the 5th grade "clap off".

Mia and her little friend (how has a 5th grade sister) are ready to clap the 5th graders out of the school for the last time.

Here he is, Zachary!

and with friends.

I am not sure if it is harder to have Mia begin Kindergarten or Zachary to start Middle school next year. With each new step it is as if a bit of them is taking a step away from mommy. I guess that is a good thing as it means they are becoming more and more of who they will one day be. I am just treasuring in my heart each new phase in their lives.
