Last Day of School

Today was the last day of school and was very bittersweet; looking forward to new experiences and saying goodbye to special friends. Kenton and his friend Jack walked to school together for the last time.

Kaitlyn and her good friend Sophie

Getting ready to head out to the door for the last day of First Grade! So hard to believe that they are ready for Second Grade and that they are 7!! Where does the time go? (Ethan obviously isn't included in what I just said!)

Kait and Sophie watch as the buses leave. Sophie is also leaving SAS and heading to Austin, TX. She and Kaitlyn had one last play date before we all head out.

Kaitlyn and Sophia getting one last ice cream from the ice cream man who sits outside the back gate. When we first moved here the twins were asking for ice cream every day after school so I quickly made the rule that no ice cream until Fridays and ONLY if they didn't throw tantrums on me walking to and from school. For only S$1.00 you get some good ice cream!

Buses lined up and ready to leave. I have posted a video below of this final farewell - it was fun!

Looking at the playground, covered playground (underneath circle building), and the rooftop playground. Behind me is the back gate where a guard stands to let you in and out.

Kate is one of Ethan's playgroup friends. She loves wearing her winter hat so much that they have a picture of her on the beach in the sand with it on! So cute!

Jack, Kenton, and Charan enjoying "stoplights" after the pizza and fruit.

Gracie, Kaitlyn, Orla, and ? (need to ask Kait!) The PTA sponsored pizza party on the last day of school for the primary students is always a hit!

**WARNING** Turn your speakers down before starting this clip as it's quite loud! As the first buses start leaving SAS they all start blaring their horns while the spectators all clap and cheer until the last bus is gone. All the teachers are lined up along with parents and students and wave at the kids on the buses until the last bus is gone. It may sound like chaos to the untrained ear but to a sentimental mom who's not ready to let go it was quite emotional! Enjoy!
