Top Seller

The beginning of the school year brings fundraisers after fundraisers. Sweetie's school was selling wrapping paper and chocolates at the beginning of the year. Thank you to all who bought from her. She ended up being the top seller in her class!! She was pretty excited!!!!! As the prize for top seller in her class, she got a free dress day. This is a big deal in a school where you wear uniforms.



She did wear shoes to school - she just hadn't got that far by the time I took the picture. We were running just a bit behind that morning...

Christmas Chapel Service

Sweetie participated in the Christmas Chapel on the last day of school before break. She said part of the prayers for the day (which she had written herself). She sounds so grown up.

1st day of school

Monday was Sweetie's first day of school. She was really ready to go the week before but we had to wait. This is her first school experience with uniforms. It made back to school shopping easier - you have a choice of khaki or navy shorts, skorts or pants. She needs to wear the jumper on days that they have Chapel.

Getting ready.


Each new student is paired with a buddy in the same grade - someone to show them around and be his/her friend. The new students also get to wear leis on the first day. The school had a really pretty flower one waiting for her when she got there. The yellow one was from the back to school picnic the day before.


Can you see that she is hiding the cell phone behind her back because Grandma called when I was about to take the picture?

Inspired by her cousin, we went to Cold Stone at the end of the day. She enjoyed her mint ice cream with chocolate chips.
