End of the School Year Festivities

The last few weeks of school were lots of fun.  With plays, sports days, concerts, and Avery's graduation of Junior School, there was much to celebrate. 
Avery had a great sports day, placing in all his races and surprising us a bit with his long jump at 3.82m! This year, Avery has discovered his love for running and Athletics (track and field).

Avery's school spent the last month of school focused on their play "Frankie and Me." Not only was the play very entertaining, we were really impressed by all the great singing that the boys did during the show.  Avery was a member of the chorus, and also played a female ghost towards the end of the play.

Yes, that's Avery on the left with some amazing hair!
 Alexa got her chance to show off her musical talents as well at her schools Prize giving day, singing "Do-Re-Mi" from The Sound of Music.
 
Mia and her friends got to take center stage twice at the Strawberry Serenade, her Junior School concert.  This first video is a poem that she and her friend recited after winning the poetry competition in their school.

 


 Mia also performed as part of a group doing a song from "Matilda the Musical."


 
Overall, it's been a great 2 years at these schools.  It was really hard to say goodbye, but we look forward to more fun times in Burnt Hills!
