our last days at Mesa Elementary

Today was a day that I was not looking forward to all week, I knew it would be a very emotional day for me. Today was play day at Mesa, the last time I would be helping out with school events at Mesa. I'm very excited about our move but I will miss all the friends I have made and the teachers my kids have had. I have loved our little school.
When Madalyn started kindergarten 5 years ago I remember coming home from one of the first school events and crying thinking I have no friends here at the school, and now as I drove out of the parking lot today I was thinking what I'm I going to do without all the friends I have made.
Thanks Mesa parents and teachers for loving my kids.

Natalie's Field Trip

I was able to go with Natalie and her class to the Police station and the Pasco Fire Department and then to eat lunch at the park.

I remembered to take pictures at the police station but forgot when she went to see Garrett at the Fire Station. I was sad when i got home and no pictures of Garrett and Natalie. The kids all loved the Fire Station.
