For some reason it was dress up week at Rylee's school and the only day she wanted to dress up for was Hawaiian Day. We found a cute flower shirt in her closet and paired it with jeans and a pair of my sandals. She really wanted a Lei so we went to the Dollar Store where we found one plus a matching flower for her hair. She definitely had a cute Hawaiian look.
Rylee went to Tayci Olsen's 12th birthday party and her Mom sent me the pictures she took of the two of them. What cuties!
Rylee was in Student Council this year and really enjoyed it. But when she got a letter inviting her to apply for the National Junior Honor Society she decided she wanted to try for that and said if she got accepted she would do that instead of Student Council in 7th grade. She filled out her application and submitted it and I told her not to worry if she wasn't one of the kids chosen. I said she was a great student but a lot of kids were trying for NJHS and I didn't think they would accept everyone. The day she got her letter she came home and said when opened it and first started reading it that she initially thought she got rejected and she was pretty bummed about it. She was walking with her friends and told them she didn't get in. They were sad for her but then she continued reading her paper and read that she was accepted! She is so funny! She told her friends that she really was and they were happy for her. She was super excited to tell me her good news when she came home from school that day.
One of her duties for Student Council was to take a group of 5th graders and show them around the school. Her group was the Wagon Wheels and she seemed to really enjoy her sign.
Monday night Alison and I went to Star Middle School for Rylee's induction ceremony into the NJHS. Avynlea, Kefford and Ryker went to Ryker's Golf Banquet, it was a divide and conquer kind of night.
Once Rylee got her certificate we had to leave to go to Eagle Middle School for her end of year Orchestra Concert. This was such a busy night and I am glad we were able to fit it all in.
Rylee did really well in her concert and even had a duet with another student. I thought it sounded pretty good but she said she messed up a little in the duet. I am pretty proud of her for all of her hard work in learning a new instrument this year. I am excited to see her progress in her Violin skills as she continues in orchestra next year.
I was on the phone with Heather when Kefford and Rylee left to go to the Goodwill. Heather wanted me to take a picture of the items RYlee brings home with her because she says Rylee always get interesting things.
This time Rylee got a book and a pencil holder. I took a picture of Kefford's Corn mug that he bought from Goodwill a while ago because he thought it was funny and sent it to her as well.
