On the last day of school, after class parties, there was an awards assembly in the auditorium to finish out the year. Mrs. Kemery contacted me a few weeks earlier and told me that Mackenzie would be receiving an award, so we would want to make sure we were there. Of course we wouldn't miss it! Each year, two "Character Awards" are given in each grade, and Mackenzie received one of the 6th grade awards. How special!! This was just the best possible way to end her 6th grade year and her elementary experience. The character traits Mrs. Kemery recognized in her were "commitment and gentleness," which both describe Mackenzie very accurately. We are extremely proud of Mackenzie's character & it meant a lot to us that it was rewarded in this way! She didn't know that she was receiving an award, so the look of surprise on her face when she crossed the stage and got her plaque was so sweet!
The 6th grade also performed the song "As We Go" that they did for the Graduation ceremony, but this time there was a little twist...I don't even know how to explain it in words, except just to say watch the video! It was hilarious & everyone loved it so much! It was a fun send-off from the 6th graders! (I still cried!)
We went to lunch at Steak & Shake with some of Mackenzie's friends after the program ended, and then kicked off our summer break with a trip to the dentist...fun! NOT!
I already can't wait for Madison to have Mrs. Kemery in a few years!
