The End of Year 5th Grade Concert

 There are so many end of year functions and tonight we had one more - the 5th grade band and chorus concert. It was great to see them perform one more time and although it was HOT inside the cafeteria, we managed.  Aoife and Emmy took Declan and went outside with all of their friends and played on the playground for a while - everyone was happy about that!!!

5th Grade Chorus and Band Concert

 Aidan had the 5th grade Advanced Band and 5th Grade Chorus concert last night. They've been working so hard since school began and they did a great job!  Unfortunately during the concert it started snowing and it was a huge mess getting home.  It took us almost an hour and a half to get the two miles home.  Luckily I have a rental this week while my car is getting repaired after getting hit while I was parked in a parking lot.  They gave us a Durango which was AMAZING in the snow - got us home safely with no problems while the rest of Arlington was sliding up and down the hills.  Seriously have to consider getting an SUV when it's time to get a new car. If we had been in the minivan last night, we would have had to walk home in the cold.  That would've been NOT fun at all.

Trying to get out of the parking lot! The best decision was to sit tight for a half an hour while everyone else crashed into each other!

Aidan's Band Concert

 Aidan has been taking percussion all year as a part of the 4th grade music program at our school.  Tonight they had their end of year concert and it was great!  The kids had worked so hard all year and it was amazing to see how far they have come since September!
