Kindergarten Graduation

(Side note: I know I am behind in posting ALOT, but I am working to get things updated. We have had one thing after another happen in our family- broken bones, medication overdoses, surgery, etc.)

We had a misty eyed May 30th as Brigham graduated from Kindergarten, and as it marked the final day pf HS Charter School. The charter school closed its doors, and the school district has taken over the financial and administrative responsibilities. For those interested, it's not a bad thing. The school will be a themed public elementary school, and will remain a Harbor Method school with Saxon Math, Shurley Language, Concept Boards, and the Spalding Method, for the curriculum. Essentially, this means the curriculum will remain the same. As far as the amazing teachers- everyone, including the awesome administrative assistant, had to apply for their jobs. We wrote a lot of letters in support of the teachers and assistants whom we had a close relationship with. We have found out that three of the teachers, and the administrative assistant will be returning in the fall.

The kindergarten classes sang Mr. Sun, and had suns and trees to use throughout their song.

Brigham with one of the most amazing teaching assistants, Ms. Patty, who's husband battled cancer and endured a stem cell transplant into his bone marrow. She maintained such a sunny disposition even when her husband was in isolation for one month at the hospital. Truely an asset and blessing to the school. I hope she is there next year.
