Problem Solved!

  This coming weekend Joey will be going with his Sophomore Civics/Economics Class to Jamestown, Va.  He is scaredly excited.
  Anyways, he has to have a luggage tag on his bags. I have one luggage tag that I used when I went on the cruise 2 years ago that I picked up when we were at OBX for Christmas.  I didn't want to go purchase something that is going to be eventually lost and/or destroyed.  I set my mind to work to think of something that could be used as a luggage tag. My eyeballs landed on an envelope of empty gift cards. Who knows why we keep them, but alas, we do.
  So, this is what I did:

I cut a scrap of paper off the same size of the gift card.

I wrote the information that was required by his teacher on his label then I used some scrapbook picture adhesive squares to attach the label to the gift card.

Using clear packing tape, I secured the tag to the back of the card .I then used the hole punch to make a hole in the card.

Using the cord from my luggage tag, I attached Joey's to his suitcase.

Now, to help him pack!

Busy Last Weeks of School

June 1st , it started with Joey attending his Spring Athletic Banquet. He get recognized for being a member of the track team.

Then, he brings home his Letter for running track a couple of days later. Next big purchase will be a Letterman's jacket before the weather turns cool!

Emma has her last chorus concert on June 2nd. It was a very good concert.

June 6th ,7th & 8th brought final exams for Joey and the Algebra EOC for Emma. Joey passed all his exams with flying colors and is now a Sophomore! He will be trying out for the soccer team again come August. Emma passed all her EOGs and her Algebra EOC giving her a head start on her high school credits! Emma & Jonathan are now Freshman at West. Emma will be trying out for the Volleyball team and Jonathan the Soccer team. It will be awesome to watch Joey & Jonathan play together again. Michael passed all his EOGs and is now a 7th grader.

June 10th was the 8th Grade Graduation Ceremony. Can't you see how happy Jonathan & Emma are!

Perfect Attendance for the Year!

Michael received his certificate for having perfect attendance for his 4th grade year! Yes, he even went to school for several hours the day after he broke his collar bone (on meds) just so he wouldn't mess up his attendance up. We told him he didn't have to go, but he wanted to. We are very proud of him for wanting to do this.
