Another Year Ends

It's hard to believe our family is saying "farewell" to another school year.  Noah completes 5th grade and finishes his elementary school days.



Final day of Alexander's freshman year of high school

Early this morning, several 5th grade Moms gathered at Alcott to create the above entrance into Alcott.  Each 5th grader created and colored a sign.  The signs were placed alphabetically and balloons were attached to each sign.  A final farewell to the 5th graders!

A proud Mom and a very happy Noah--congrats on a great year!

 

The 5th grade committee provided lunch for the 5th graders and their families.  In addition, each class was assigned a side dish or dessert to add to the lunch buffet.  Following lunch, the 5th graders headed to the playground for a final recess.

Following the awards ceremony, the 5th graders were invited to walk the Alcott halls a final time.  The younger students lined the hallways and clapped for the 5th graders as they passed by.  Meanwhile, the parents anxiously awaited outside for their child to exit elementary school one last time.

Mr. Mazzon and Noah.  We can't thank Mr. Mazzon enough for nurturing, challenging, encouraging and supporting Noah throughout his 5th grade year.  It was by far the most difficult year for Noah, but also the most rewarding.  Good teachers DO make a difference in a child's life!  Thank you Mr. Mazzon!

Congratulations to both Alexander and Noah.  And, Happy Summer to all!
