Yesterday wrapped up another school year ... another one that definitely falls in the "weird and not at all what we would have expected" category!
The school year began as 100% due to the COVID pandemic, transitioned to a hybrid model, and finished with in-person school. We've said it before and will say it again, we cannot be more impressed with our our kids' school has handled the pandemic and made sure the students continued to grow and learn. Kudos to the teachers for being adaptable and being able to pivot on a dime!
Annika finished 7th grade and Conor wrapped up 5th grade with smiles on their faces and excitement for the upcoming summer. (Interestingly, the prospect of entering her final year at CKS is putting a slight damper on Annika's excitement. We thought she'd be over the moon with the idea of high school only a year away ... not so much!
Both kiddos are grateful to have had the opportunity to be at school this year, even for an abbreviated amount of time while maintaining social distancing requirements and wearing masks. They adapted remarkably well to all of the changes that were thrown into life and rose to the occasion. They greatly enjoyed the lack without uniforms this year (sorry kids, uniforms will be back in the fall) and their ability to have a bit more self expression.
We look forward to a summer that will afford more freedoms and grant us more opportunities for "normal" than we had last year. Bring on swimming, fun, adventures, hikes, and more!
