New day, new school!
Local public school, here come the Sheck girls!
Clothing choices, bus stops in the neighborhood, new friends, and new opportunities. We are all excited for what this big change will bring.

Last Day @ DVA
After 11+ years, our family decided to leave the only elementary/middle school our kids have ever known.
The girls are ok with the decision, excited even. We received several kind messages from teachers – some who had taught the boys.
On to new adventures next week!
Winter bulletin board
I spent a few hours at the girls’ school updating another bulletin board today. Several teachers plan to have their kiddos color sweaters to help fill in the empty space. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s complete.
1st Snow Day of 2023!
We are expecting several inches and strong winds, so the girls’ school decided to declare a snow day. They were on break prior to Christmas when Shecklet #2’s school district did the same, so I’m guessing that’s part of the reason behind the cancellation. The boys on the other hand, both had to return to their classes.
After playing outside for a while, the girls came in an made fancy hot cocoa drinks.
End of the basketball season 🏀
Shecklet# #3 and Shecklet #4 both had end of the season bball tournaments this weekend. Saturday they played at different locations, so Jake and I had to divide and conquer. He went to #4’s games and I went to #3’s. Both girls won both of their games, so we headed back to the gym (this time at the same location) on Sunday.
Shecklet #4 played first and her team played so hard! They put up numerous more shots than their competition, but the ball just didn’t want to go in! They ended up with a third place finish!
Shecklet #3’s team came into the tournament undefeated and ended undefeated! Their final game was very physical, but they played their game (good sportsmanship and great defense) and pulled away from the other team in the second half. Shecklet #3 earned four fouls! (Mrs. King from #2’s bball days would have been proud!)
First day 2022 – take 1
Shecklets 3 & 4 went back to school today. We have a 4th grader and a 6th grader. One in upper elementary and one in middle school. Here’s to learning new things, making new friends, growing (physically and emotionally,) and having a normal year!
Bulletin boards
The girls and I volunteered to freshen up four of the bulletin boards at school. I found some templates on the Teachers Pay Teachers website and found inspiration for another idea on Pinterest. I am so excited with how they turned out – and apparently they are getting rave reviews from the staff as well 😊
Full of fun
This girl is full of energy and fun every day. This collage captures just a snapshot of what I’m referring to.
Academic letter
This kid has always had to work hard at school. He received a letter in the mail from his principal today telling him that he made the honor roll and earned an academic letter!
Last Day of School 2021-2022 – take 3
Shecklet #2 finished yesterday and the girls finished their school years today.
We celebrated by going to Cherry Berry for frozen yogurt – it has become an end of the year tradition.
