Sam finished up elementary school in June and she was VERY ready to be done with elementary school. She had outgrown the lining up to walk in a line to go...well, everywhere. She was ready to move on to middle school where she would be afforded a bit more freedom and personal responsibility.
At her 5th grade graduation, she was thrilled to receive the Moore Elementary Academic Excellence Award for getting all A's and outstanding conduct for K-5. I was just relieved it was over. She found out about this award in the 3rd grade and lived in constant fear of getting a B. She was also worried they wouldn't give her the award since she lived in Holland for K-2nd grade. So I knew she was thrilled when they called her name (even though she was sure not to crack a smile. Don't you know, showing emotion is for babies, not for 5th grade graduates). We were super proud of her for her accomplishment!
