Awards Day

 

On the last day of school, Oak Park held the Awards Day.

Addison won 2nd place of the whole school in Accelerated Reading points with 650 points!

That is remarkable, last year's winner, only had 425 points..she was initially disappointed losing to her rival reader, Connor but I was able to convince her it was absolutely amazing how many books she read!

 

Addison also received Classic Reader award.  

So not only did she read a crazy amount of books and tested on them to receive the 650 points, she also was reading books above a 6th grade reading level!

Way to go Addison!

 

Proud of my youngest baby!

 

Addison and her principal, Dr. Pope!

We will miss you Oak Park!

 

Last day of school swim party at the pool!!

 

Yay Summer!!!

Oak Park Talent Show

 

Addison wrapped up her time at the wonderful Oak Park Elementary School with singing a solo at the talent show.  

She sang a Christian song called, "Go and Tell."  She shared the important message of sharing the Good News of Jesus being the joy and hope and light in our lives.  She sang beautifully, we are so proud of Addison.  How she finds the bravery to go and sing in front of her entire school and all those parents is beyond me.  

Way to go Addison!  You definitely let your light shine!!

 

Addison and her precious piano teacher Dr. Michaelle.

  Addison is so blessed because Dr. Michaelle accompanied Addison on the piano.

 

After the talent show, the 3rd graders had a surprise for the rest of the school. 

They performed a flash mob!

It was so cute!  You can see Addison up on the stage, she started the flash mob with these other students and by the end, the entire third grade had made it up to the stage all the while performing a choreographed routine. It was adorable. 

 

Just one of the millions of reasons we are so sad to leave Oak Park.

 

The third graders then got to have a dance party!

 

Addison was loving it!

 

Addison and Sydney!

 

Addison even had two VIP's show up at her talent show performance.  Mckenzie and Amelia were exempt from high school exams for straight A's and perfect attendance so they came back to their old stomping grounds to support Addison!

 

Sweet friends Addison and Hope!

Third Grade Oscars

 

Addison's school does a really fun project in third grade.  The children have to make a movie, edit it, add the sound, etc 

The can choose different categories like Live Narrative,Persuasive, Powtoons, Powerpoint.Stop Motion. etc.   And just like the real Oscars, clips of the movies are shown and then the winner is announced.  All the third graders dressed up and the school was decorated for the Oscars, complete with a red carpet.  

It was so neat!

Addison was also chosen to be a presenter and she did a great job presenting the category Live Narrative. 

 

Addison and her friends also won the Oscar in their category!!

The name of her project was "Epic Book."

Way to go Addison!

 

A fun day at the Oscars!

And yes, Addison is in a velvet Christmas dress in May...because that is what Addison decided and I have stopped winning arguments with Addison about 8 years ago when she began to talk.  

More End of the School Year Fun

  

We all enjoyed the Ocean Springs High School tennis team banquet.

Amelia and the other freshman girls :) 

 

Addie and Alden had lots of fun with the new spray paint chalk on the driveway.

  

Luke's school had a Fun Run as a fundraiser and they had a blast. 

 They moved it inside and turned it into a Glow Run because of a threat of thunderstorms but the kids loved it! 

Thank you to the Grandparents for sponsoring Luke!
