Last day of school

Pierce really tries to get away with not having his photo taken with his 4th grade teacher Mrs. Dorsey, even though he knows it is a tradition to have his picture taken with his teacher each year. Posted by Picasa

Saying good-bye

Like all students, Owen gets really attached to Mrs. Bartels and has a hard time saying good-bye. Most of the kids were hanging on to her (literally) and did not want to let her go. Pierce also had the same experience with her in 2nd grade. Posted by Picasa

Pierce finishes another year

Mom showed up on the last day to snap a few photos of Pierce getting his AR certificate and participating in games. Pierce wishes she would just leave him alone. Posted by Picasa
