The Last 2 weeks of the 08-09 School Year....

School is out for the summer! Wahoooo! And about time. I think since school got out on Friday Mark and I have both slept atleast 9 hours a night, plus 2-3 hour naps each day =). AND we have good reason. The last few weeks of school are finally finished and were they jam packed with events..... here is a little run down of the last two weeks..... starting from the most recent....

On the last day of school, that evening, the Staff got together for an end of the year staff party, and was it a hoot! from Dancing, to singing, to skits, to games, it was a great night, just to hang out together as friends, not just staff, be able to laugh, eat, and just hang out!
Marky and I....

Esther (sub-teacher), Merci (Businss Manager & mom of one of my kiddo's), Me, and Fellie (Teachers Aide).

Mo-town is back.... Debbie Flores (2nd Grade), Debbie Winkfield (Art, Bible & Uke), Tamiko Winkfield (5th Grade), and Bobby Winkfield (Principle).

Last Day of School! Hanging out at carline with my kiddo's. Daniel and I.

Sophia, Kento, and I.

Ryosei (Toda-boy) and I.

The SCS Staff at the 8th Grade Graduation.

Mark and I with our adopted son, James Ko, who was an 8th grade grad! Congrats Son!

To raise money for the Junior High Lockers there was a fundraiser where kids had to guess how many prizes were in a jar... This is Nichol Lu and he won with the closest guesstimate... one of the prizes was a pie in the face for Mr. Sawyer... The best part is were were counting down from 10 to 1 for him to smash that pie, and all we said was 10.... 9..... 8.... and then he did it! Totally unexpected... but as usual, my sweet hubby was a great sport and just laughed as whip cream came out his nose =)

10...... 9.......8........ SMACK!

Field Day 2009! The teams were made up of one or two students from every grade level.. and my team won! Congrats Team Camera!

One of the teams with their completed sand castle... this was the station i was assigned too... not a bad place to hang out on a school day =)

With the school year coming to an end, that meant tutoring was over also, which was nice relief, but to celebrate, Mark and I took my 4 3rd graders out for a treat at McD's.... Mark and Julie.

Me, Dominic, Isaac, Daniel and Julie... What a group!

The Last reading buddies of the year.... kindergarten and 3rd Grade.... party time! Me with Min, Yun, Jayson and Isaac....

Well, with that we are done... now we have one teacher workday to complete, cleaning an apartment to get done, packing to do, and a flight to hop on! We fly out Friday morning at 8am and will soon be joining the rest of the Sawyer Family in Freezing cold Seattle! We cant wait.... 4 days!

HERE WE COME CONTINENTAL U.S. of A!
