Gift #47- Kindergarten Graduation

Sam and Macy- Kindergarten Cowboy Day

Logos Christian Academy

About 5 years ago this very week, I was at Hunting Island State Park in Beaufort, South Carolina for Jack's Kindergarten graduation.  It was a beach picnic so I was not expecting the children to put on a little program.  Well, they did.  They stood before the parents and sang 'Start spreading the news, we're leaving today.  We want to be a part of it 1st grade 1st grade!" Oh my goodness.  I still get teary just typing it out.  My girlfriend Wendy and I just looked at each other and started boo-hooing!  Our babies were graduating from Kindergarten!  The very next year, Josh put his mama through the exact same torture.  Thankfully, I was a little more prepared.  There were no less tears, but I did bring along tissue and I stood in the back as to not distract.  Today, the youngest of the Thomas Kids graduated from Kindergarten.  In true Amy fashion, a few tears were shed.  Sam and Macy were so proud as they sang "Kindergarten, Kindergarten its time to say goodbye to Kindergarten.  Look at the progress we've made.  Now it's time to go to First Grade."  Oh My-  I get a little teary typing that one out also!  It is the little songs that get me every time!!!  Just imagine how I am going to behave at their high-school graduations!  I will mostly likely need to be medicated.  ;0)  We spent the first 3 semesters in Fallon, NV  where the kids attended Logos Christian Academy.  We made so many wonderful memories there and had a difficult time saying goodbye. I worried that the kids might have a hard time adjusting to their new school, but my worries were relieved when I met their teachers.  They went out of their way to welcome our family.  The kids spent their final semester at MC Perry Elementary School-  Home of the Samurai.  It was a wonderful school year and today we begin enjoying our summer adventures in Japan!

 Sam and Macy's Kindergarten Class at Logos Christian Academy in Fallon, NV.  This little school, it's students, parents, and staff became a part of our family.  It was the very best way that Sam and Macy could have ever begun their school careers.  We love Mrs. Jung!

We were so blessed to be in Mrs. Lemos and Mrs' Horton's Kindergarten Class
