The day before graduation, or “promotion”, for the 5th graders they were able to enjoy an entire day of fun at school. The 5th graders were grouped into teams for an Amazing Race type of scavenger hunt, earning clues at each station after completing some tasks. At the end of the day, a firetruck pulled into the school parking lot and sprayed the 5th graders with a fire hose for a good 20 minutes or so—it’s a rite of passage at our school for the rising middle schoolers each year. And, at the very end of the day, after the 5th graders get changed into dry clothes, the entire school comes out of their classrooms and lines the halls and the 5th graders walk each hallway getting “clapped out” of elementary school. I might’ve cried during that part. It was a great way to end a wonderful 6 years of elementary school. Go Ella!
I photographed the whole day for the entire 5th grade, but here are just the ones with Ella and her team.

{probably one of her favorite high fives—mr. sword, her art teacher. she even had several at-home private art lessons with mr. sword this year.}
