Another Halloween. There was a parade at school. Sam, Margaret, and Jax were Link, Zelda, and Eponia from the Zelda video games. Katy and her friends were princess fairies. We had 800+ people again and gave out glow bracelets.

Today was the first day of school for everyone. Sam had his first day of kindergarten, very exciting. Margaret started the third grade. Katy is in 7th grade now. Katy didn’t actually go to school until this afternoon. She didn’t even need us to go with her anymore.
Today was the celebration for Sam’s last day at Mariposa. The last time for the memory walk. Next time Sam goes to school, it will be in Kindergarten at Van Meter.
Friday was Greek Day at Fisher. Everyone (in the 6th grade) dressed up as Greeks.
It was also Hawaiian day at Van Meter.
Sam had his Christmas concert at school today. This one was better than most because they had someone playing the organ and you could actually hear the kids sing. I got a few pictures, Elizabeth got video of most of it.

Sam’s First Day of School
It was Sam’s first day of school. He is in the 5 day class this year. He seems to be enjoying it after the first few days. Next week, he will start lunch and play. That is a big deal to him because he couldn’t do it last year because he wasn’t potty trained. You are really supposed to be potty trained to go to this school at all, but he has been going for 2 years with it.
Katy started 6th grade and Margaret started 2nd. Katy was a little apprehensive about staring middle school this year. A couple of days later and she says it is better than elementary school. Margaret has class again with Sophie this year.
Today is the last day of school for the year. Katy’s last day at Van Meter (we still have another 7 years there). When Sam graduates from Van Meter, Katy will be graduating from high school.
Margaret’s first grade class did their rendition of the Three Little Pigs. Margaret had a line welcoming everyone to the play. Like an opera, most of the play was sung.
Sam had his last day of school for the year. Everyone at the school is upset because his teacher (and the teacher that Margaret had for years) will not be coming back next year.
