What’s that expression, “The days are long and the years are fast?” It is wild to think we have three middle schoolers in the house all of a sudden. Finn and Clara celebrated their 5th grade promotion on June 13, after the weirdest year ever. True to form, the celebration was unique. There was a car parade through the Bannockburn school neighborhood, followed by a parking lot/grassy hill outdoor gathering last Saturday. It was surprisingly moving for me. Finn loved the parade, while Clara was mildly mortified. They received sweet photo memory books and personalized m&ms and their first diplomas. And suddenly our elementary school years are over.
On Clara’s memory and dreams slide, she wrote:
My favorite memory from my Bannockburn was probably making terrariums/ecosystems with Ms. Nam in fourth grade. It was super cool because we actually put living creatures in them.
Maybe I could end up being some sort of chef or restaurant owner. (I also love animals, so I wouldn’t mind working at a shelter).
On Finn’s slide, he wrote:
My favorite memory at Bannockburn:
Is in fourth grade, when Mr. Leyva was dancing on top of the table.
My hope and dream for the future is:
To be more like my uncle and to be wiser and to play sports.
