End of the School Year, Thursday, June 12
We ended the year on a high note full of busyness and fun! The morning was packed with last-minute duties:
- cleaning out desks and lockers
- passing out report cards and awards
- learning how to say no to drugs and bad decisions (part of Health)
- reviewing how to add and subtract fractions
The afternoon had us enjoying a wonderful potluck lunch! Thanks to everyone brining in a dish to pass! We had more than enough food and full bellies were plentiful! To wrap up the day and the year, we played crazy games. Students…
- ate ice cream and whip cream without using hands,
- stuck Life Savers on a friend’s face,
- made lemonade with a lemon slice, sugar packet and water,
- threw frisbees, cucumbers, and soggy sponges,
- carried marshmallows, and BBQ sauce, with their mouths, and
- loaded up a friend with shaving cream, only to smear it all over the class (and me) when the game was finished!
It was a great year, one that everyone can be proud of! Thanks for all you have done, both students and parents, to make our year a success. Post a comment to this post to share your feelings on the end of the school year and how you think it went.

Thank you so much Mr. Howd for all that you have done this year. It has been the most fun Emily has had in her 5 years of school and you are by far, her favorite teacher as well. You will be hard to replace!! We will all miss you!
