School's Out For Summer!

Today was the last day of school! 

Yesterday, we had an end-of-the-year pizza party! 

We had fun signing yearbooks.

Everyone played a bucket toss game!

Today, we continued to sign yearbooks.

Look at the line for Coach Felicity!

We celebrated an incredible literacy milestone. The class read 12 million words this year! 

Way to go!

That's right, 12,000,000 words!  

But, like all good things...they must come to an end. 

When the final grain of sand fell through the hour glass, it was time to say goodbye.

A final group hug before we departed for our summer vacations!

It has been my pleasure to be on this learning journey with you! 

I look forward to seeing you in the fall!

Welcome back to a new school year! 

 Here's a video greeting from Mrs. Yollis!

 

Here is the photo I mentioned in my Welcome Back video. After many days of practice,  Buck was able to master the skill of dock diving! 

Go, Buck! Go!
