Last Day of School!!!!

6th, 4th, and 1st

This is my favorite time of year!!!  We made it to SUMMER!  These 3 crazies did a great job this year.  It continues to be such a blessing to be at Canterbury.  Molly is moving onto 7th grade, Anne is moving into middle school! 5th grade, and Owen is moving down the hall to 2nd.  Hard to believe that are getting this big.  We are having so much fun with them.  Just wish it would slow down a little. =)

Owen's 1st grade teachers

Owen had an incredible year and it is all because of these two ladies.  We are so thankful for them and all the pour into not just Owen but the girls too.  They have become so dear to us.  

PreK

This year I had the chance to work with these cuties!  I love my job!  I get to play, be creative, cuddle, read books, draw, laugh with the sweetest kids.  As hard as moments were juggling it all I am thankful I get to work at Canterbury.  What a blessing these little lives where to me this year.  They will do great things in Kindergarten!

Keean McEroy Award

 Ms.Hoover (Keean & Molly's 4th grade teacher)

 Keean's family giving Anne the award

In November of 2015 Molly's class lost a little boy, Keean, in a car crash.  It was a very hard thing for Canterbury and hit all of us hard.  Starting this year Canterbury started an award in his honor to be given to a 4th grade child that reflected his time on earth.  It is voted by the lower school teachers on who will be given this award every year.  The traits they look for are: "curiosity about the world, perseverance, treating others the way he wanted to be treated, generosity of spirit, and love for family and friends".  Anne was given this award.  Here is what they said about her:

"This year's recipient has unwavering positive attitude and generosity of spirit that were so evident in Keean in the 4th grade.  In fact, it is the norm to see her smiling in her shy and gentle way!  This recipient is helpful to her teachers and peers and always treats others with kindness.  She also shows great compassion for her peers and is a peacemaker in the class.  Academically, she is eager to learn and work hard in school, persevering even when the work gets challenging.  At home, she is the middle child.  She admires and learns from her big sister Molly and is nurturing role model for her younger bother Owen, who are both at Canterbury.  The family has a tight bond."

Anne was so surprised!  Molly and Owen's faces were priceless.  And I was crying.  This is one of those awards that you wish was never an award.  It was an honor that the whole lower school faculty thought of our Anne.  Way to shine Anne Claire!

I am so thankful that my kids love to play sports.  Josh and I love getting to go to games and cheer them on.  I really could not think of a better way to spend a weekend.  We had a lot of games and practices to get to this year.  All three had very successful year.  Anne became a striker... this kid can run and shoot some goals.  Owen has a deadly left foot.  And Molly can hold down the defense.  Love these 3 crazies!

Wonderland by Ms. Hoover's Class

This year Owen's class wrote a movie, filmed it and then showed it to the school.  Owen's story was chosen to be the movie!  It was called Wonderland.  He was the main character Buddy.  There was a Professor Pinguin, Santa, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, Talking Hamburger and French fry and Bacon.  It was such a blast to see his and his classes creativeness through out the whole thing!  We were very proud of him and all his work memorizing his lines.  Way to go Owie!
