Completion of 5th grade

The completion of a school year is always an exciting time, but this year in particular we are filled with mixed emotions as it signifies not just the end of another year for Wesley, but the end of elementary school. The last week of school was full of celebration as the 5th graders held a special field day, enjoyed a cookout at school, and even had a celebratory walk through the halls of the school while cheered on by the faculty and student body. But, of course, the promotion ceremony was the big finale. We are so proud of Wesley, our oldest. His drive and determination have earned him a reputation as an accomplished student, while his confidence and courage have earned him the reputation of a leader among his peers. We praise God for the work that he has begun in Wesley and are believing Him to see it through to completion. We can't wait to see what the coming years hold in store!



I love that I can totally read my son's expressions (they are just like his Dad's!). This one has a lot of excitement and a little nervousness written all over it!



This one says, "Oh my, this is going to be a very long night . . . ."




Can't say anything about this one. My eyes were too misty to see anything. This was Wesley receiving the award for the Gifted Student of the Year.

Here he is receiving his certificate from his teacher, Mrs. Bailey.



Too cool for words . . .



But not too cool for a backwards glance to make sure we are watching.



Did I say how proud I am??
