where she's from

we celebrated caroline's 5th grade graduation this week.

she finished strong & had fantastic year

making new friends, trying many new things

& having a great year academically.

she had a wonderful teacher ---really wonderful teacher

( two actually!)

who she fell in love with & was a little kindred spirit with too.

when we moved into this area years ago i knew we were blessed to live in 

one of the best school clusters anywhere & my girls have each been given

 an excellent education, preparing them well for the next step.

little bit was on student council,

junior beta club & national honors society.

she qualified for the presidential award too.

last night she found out she moved up to the elite company at dance.

it's been a great week for her.

i wanted to share a poem she wrote

inspired by her teacher & george ella lyon
