Blake is in the far right of his class group sitting on their kindergarten squares for the last day of school.
Blake at his desk working on his Uncle Sam project to celebrate 4th of July!
Mark earned an outstanding mathematician and reading counts award from his 4th grade teacher, Karen Heilig. I took a wide picture to show how bare her classroom was. The desks are pushed up against the wall because she was put on the lay-off list due to the state-wide budget cuts to education. Hopefully, she'll be able to return to a full-time teaching position in the Fall, but in the meantime, she had to pack up and move out all her books and teaching supplies. What an emotional rollercoaster these teachers have gone through this past year. Mr. Lowe, Mrs. Natalie DeClark and Karen Heilig are the three teachers tapped for lay-offs from TMA, and all three are outstanding GATE teachers for 3rd, 4th and 5th grades.
Mark and Jocelyn with their beloved 2nd grade GATE teacher Ms. Dawn Bleskey. She is one of the best teachers at TMA and a terrific mother and friend.
What better way to celebrate the end of school than frozen yogurt at Golden Spoon at the Orchard Hills center. We feel like this yogurt shop is our Home-Away-from-Home with how often our kids frequent it, especially after hikes, athletic practices and bike rides.
Yea! Summer can now begin!!!
