And Now For The Famous Words Of Alice Cooper...

School's out for summer!


Miss Brown with Payton

Mrs. Osswald, Riley, and Mrs. Jones.

Mr. Scott and Riley

I really cannot believe that this school year is over already!  Wow, time has flown by.  

This year the kids aren't very excited about summer break.  (Shocking, I know!) 

Payton is already missing his teacher and his class.  Missing them to the point that he is begging for me to go and buy him one of the 'Bridge' books so he can start working on 4th grade work and (in his own words) "keep his brain smart through the summer!"  How adorable is that?  A kid that loves school - what a blessing!   

Riley heads off to Middle School next year and isn't too thrilled.  She's leaving behind her comfort zone and is unsure of what's ahead.  HHES is the school she has been at the longest, has made great friends there, and it's where she started her diabetes and school adventure.  She's learned the 'ropes' there and has mastered them if I do say so myself.  She has had a team of FANTABULOUS (yes, it is supposed to say fantabulous, a wonderful blend of fantastic and fabulous) nurses that make her feel comfortable and somewhat normal.  They have been genuine and compassionate with the care they give her each day at school and again we are blessed.  Her teacher has been amazing this year as well!  Again, we are blessed!  She has completed the year once again with straight A's, but I'm pretty sure by the look on her face when Payton was begging to go and get a 'Bridge' book that she isn't a bit concerned with keeping her brain smart over the summer!
