Zayda's Closing Program

Zayda had her closing program for school last night. It was really cute. Their theme was a walk through God's Word. They all recited memory verses that they had learned throughout the year and each class sung 2 songs that pertained to their verse. Zayda's class sung "Dig Down Deep" and "Baa, Baa, Baa." They were dressed up at sheep with sheep ears and back socks on their hands to look like hooves. Zayda had a little trouble during rehearsals with some stagefright and a nervous tummy. We arrived early last night and after being able to see exactly where we were sitting she was relieved of her nervousness. She did great and was very excited about her program.

After each class had performed, the group all came together and sang one last song.

After the full group song, the parents and students were surprised with a very special Pre-K graduation ceremony for the kids that were leaving to go on to kindergarten. Keith and I were both teary eyed for our precious little girl who still today is proudly wearing her graduation ribbon. We thought you would enjoy sharing this moment with us.

We went back to her classroom after her program for a cookie reception and we took a picture of her with her "boyfriend Wesley." She LOVES this boy and she tells me all the time that she is going to marry him when they are all grown up. I was also able to get a picture of her with her teachers Mrs. Stuck (left) and Mrs. Matthews (right). They were incredible teachers and Zayda especially took a liking to Mrs. Stuck. I hope we have as good of luck with her teachers as we have had the last 2 years at Mount Pleasant.

After we were done at her school, we celebrated by having dinner at Arni's. Zayda was very proud to be the guest of honor and she shared the evening with her parents, brother, Grandma & Grandpa, Nana and Papa and Uncle J. who joined us for dinner after umpiring a baseball game.

Zayda will be off to Kindergarten next year at West Grove Elementary. She will be attending half day and is super excited to get to ride the bus to school. Her parents aren't quite as excited about this endeavor as she is but I'm sure we'll adjust.
