Last Day of School

Tomorrow is the last day of school for my babies. All three have had a wonderful school year. Colleen bloomed in middle school. She had a terrific team of teachers. We have felt very blessed that so far she has taken the path of being a "teacher pleaser" and excelling in her work is important to her. A few of her friends have taken the attitude that it is not cool to make good grades and being disrespectful is the "IN" thing.
Donavan made it thru first grade with flying colors. He is quite the writer and enjoys making up stories. Miss Costa is the perfect 1st grade teacher, besides being young and cute, she works so hard to make all the kids feel special.
Conlan has had a whole support group of teachers. Six different educators work with him and each one of them are incredible. He has had the same speech therapist for four years. Miss Goyer has been a true God send for not only Conlan but for us also. She and her aide Mrs. Swaim spent many hours working on his sounds and Conlan has made great strides in his speech. They have also gone way beyond and have helped Conlan read and study for many test. We are all going to miss them dearly next year. Conlan's year was a great example of many people working together to help him succeed. We have refered to Conlan being "angel bait" since he was a baby. God is still surrounding the boy with many angels.
