First & Last Day of Elementary - Jane

Elementary Schools Jane attended:
McAuliffe Elementary School
San Luis Rey Elementary School
Palmquist Elementary School

5th Grade Promotion!

Jane graduated from elementary school! She is an excellent student and leader and we're very proud of all she has accomplished. 

She is ready to head to middle school in the fall. Linda will be in the 8th grade so it'll be nice for her to already have at least one friend at the school. It really does seem like the years flew by with Jane. It seems like just yesterday that she was asking every day when she could start Kindergarten. We love our Jane.

Notes from Jane's teacher:
Jane was an absolute shining start this year in my class. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated, hard working, and focused student. I was able to always count on Jane as a role model for her peers both inside and outside the classroom. She has strong friendships with her peers and her caring and thoughtful nature were assets to our classroom this year. I know she will continue to shine and do great things next year in middle school. It was an absolute pleasure to have you in my class this year Jane! 

Yearbook Cover

Jane and her friend got 2nd place in the yearbook cover contest for her school. It appeared on the back cover.

Contacts

Linda is supposed to wear glasses all of the time but has a hard time keeping track of them, so she opted for contacts. Bruce and I already wear them. So, now there are 3 contact wearers in the house. She did a great job getting them in the first time and is enjoying seeing everything so clearly.

Spring Break 2017

While Bruce was away at camp all week the girl's and I enjoyed our spring break. It seriously is just what we all needed. We didn't travel anywhere far or do anything extraordinary but we just spent time together and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside.
Grandma Linda came for a visit the first few days. We shopped at the Harbor, made a trip to the library and had a picnic down at Mission Bay.

Since we had to pick Bruce up each day at Fiesta Island we spent a lot of time in Mission Bay. We got some life jackets and the girls had so much fun playing in the water, swimming out to the island, and just playing together. We played at the parks down there too. We also went to a movie. I didn't get a lot of pictures but we had such a nice time not worrying about schedules, electronics, school, work, or anything else.
