On the last day of school, Regents has their own Olympics complete with a lighting of the torch, medals, races, and the closing ceremonies. Grafton talked about it for over a week- she signed up for the sack race, the 50 yard dash, archery, and then the whole class does a tug of war. It was so much fun seeing the kids cheer for each other and try their hardest to win a medal. James came with me, and he acted like he was one of the big kids! It broke his heart not to get a medal at the end of the day. But sweet Grafton got THREE medals! She won gold in the sack race and archery, and she won silver in the 50 yard dash! What a fun day and a fun way to say good-bye to her pre-k year.
Opening ceremony
sweet friends
Sack race! Go Grafton Go!
Gold medal in the sack race!
Silver medal in the 50 yard dash
Who knew she was a lefty when it comes to Archery?!
Another Gold for G!
And now- for proof of how sweet Grafton is to James...He was her shadow all day long, and she was so sweet to include him in everything. He sat by her, cheered for her, stood in line with her class, played with her friends, and had the biggest time out of anyone! And by the end of the day, she even gave him her silver medal to wear around his neck. I am so so thankful for their sweet relationship.
