Today was the graduation ceremony for the third graders who completed the STEP reading program. Shecklet #2 completed last of the the 12 steps mid-year.
During the spring trimester he also accumulated over 200 AR (accelerated reader) points by taking quizzes on books he has read or listened to. His teacher said she has never had a student score as many points as he did!
Shecklet #3 graduated from kindergarten today. It’s been a great year for her, full of social, emotional and academic growth. So proud of all that she has accomplished and grateful for an awesome teacher!
Jake and a team of other teachers/parents planned and put on the 6th golf tournament to benefit the Shecklets’ school. This year’s proceeds will go toward the outdoor spaces at the new school. I had the opportunity to golf with my dad, co-worker and my parents’ old neighbor. We had a great time (despite my hitting everything to the right and losing many golf balls 😬.) We even placed 5th out of 30 teams. Not too shabby! I lol forward to this event every year – such a fun opportunity to spend some time with my dad ❤️
When our parish was first built, parishioners were given the opportunity to write scripture passages on the floor of the sanctuary before the carpet was laid. It was a tangible example of how the people of COSP stand firm on God’s word. The carpet in the church is being replaced again – I heard this is the 3rd time since the church was built. And once again parishioners were invited to write a scripture verse on the floor before the new carpet is installed. Our family took advantage of this awesome opportunity tonight.
Any time Shecklet #4 is only with me, she calls it “girls day out.” Today she had a day with just Nana. They ran some errands, found a pair of new shoes, had lunch, and then Nana came to watch the girls at their last swimming lesson for the session. Fun-filled day!
Three of the Shecklets have Fridays off in June. We got to spend the morning watching some of our favorite boys!
Shecklet #2 let me boost him up into the tree in the backyard and he did some climbing. Brought back memories of climbing trees in the cemetery when we lived on Pine View Drive.
