Another School Year Behind Us ...

Today was the final day of school for the girls, so it was time to say goodbye.

Jenna said goodbye to 2nd grade ...

... to her friends ...



... and to her awesome 2nd grade teacher.



She had such a great year academically, and really came out of her shell socially.  Her teacher did a fabulous job at making her feel safe, comfortable and confident in herself.  How lucky we were to have such a perfect teacher for Jenna's style this year!

Kara said goodbye to the new friends she made in Kindergarten this year ...

... and to her kindergarten teacher.



Kara had a tough start to the year and things weren't always easy, but her teacher was always willing to work with me to make things better for Kara.  She had a lot of patience to give one little girl in a sea of 28 other kids, and I find that honorable.  The fact that Kara ended the year on a positive note, liking school, is more than I could ever ask for : )
