5th grade party

The last day of school was party time for the 5th graders. they got things going at the school with a water balloon fight between two classes that had won a contest on campus. The kids thought it was great to get each other and they were relatively in control. Notice the grey ominous clouds in the background, the threat of rain was putting a damper on the pool party for later in the day.

The kids made sure their balloons were used wisely, causing as much soaking as possible
We did have a cloudburst right as school was letting out, but it cleared up and was perfect for the 5th grade pool party. It was the 1st time we had done one with this school and I would say it was a great success. Much easier that trying to entertain them in the school gym. There was plenty of food, music and water, which is a must outside in Houston. Congratulations Class of 2017, good luck in Jr. high.

Everyone having fun to "Party on the USA"


I actually got a picture with Lexi at the background one of the mom's had painted. I have loved being part of my kid's "school life" and enjoyed volunteering in whatever way I can.
