Another "Proud Mommy" Moment

Today was the last day of school...which is good and bad.  It's so nice to know that we will be going back to MICDS next year!  The kids had a great year and made more terrific friends!  Some of our friends are moving to new cities or new schools, but they will always be in our hearts and minds...

Today was also the Middle School awards ceremony, used mostly to celebrate the 8th graders, but there were some other awards given out, including the Eugene W. Harris Middle School Chess Award awarded to Jake!  Congrats to Jake for winning this year's tournament!  He made it to the finals and then beat an eighth grader to win!  Way to go!  

His friend Andrew was awarded a Yale Book Award for his citizenship and potential.  Very cool!

Then onto the Lower School for popsicles on the playground and the end of year "count down."  The kids got their yearbooks and then went out to play and say "have a good summer" to their friends and teachers.  Good bye to 2nd and 5th grade...hello to 3rd and 6th...HOLY COW!
