Wesley's Fifth Grade Farewell Program

Oh boy, this one still makes me tear up a little as I go through the pictures! The fifth graders worked hard on their end of elementary school program. The theme was Disney, so they reworded a lot of favorite Disney tunes with their own lyrics for their performance. Mixed in were lots of pictures of the fifth graders throughout their elementary years on the big screen. After the performance, they got to walk through a line of all of their teachers from kinder through 5th grade as a send off. A lot of happy and sad emotions for parents and students as we said farewell to elementary for these sweet kiddos. Their experience at this school was exceptional with some of the most caring teachers and administration. Releasing them to the world of middle school is scary, but good.

Waiting for the show to start!
