Clap-Outs & Silly String Wars! Goodbye 5th Grade!

So today was FINALLY the last day of school, and it couldn't have come sooner! This week in Macy's classroom, 3 kids were out with swine flu, 3 out with chicken pox, 1 home ill throwing up (as was most of the fourth grade so I'm told) and many other students out with strep! Over at Treasure Mountain Middle School, Carter said half of the 8th grade girls were sent home with swine flu. Enough already! Luckily the Bedford girls seem to have come out of it unscathed... knock on wood! Now for the fun part, we got to "Clap" Macy out of 5th grade! The whole school and any family & friends come to the playground and form a snake like tunnel which all the graduating 5th graders then get to walk through while everyone claps. There were many air horns, loud music, silly string being shot & of course, clapping. Below are some shots of the chaos! I still can't believe that Macy and her cute friends are now off to middle school... crazy stuff!Clapping out!
The Silly String wars begin....
Ellie & Kenzie attack!
Kenzie getting it right in the face!
