Weirdest Last Day of School Ever

During the last week of school, we had a schedule to drive through the elementary school garage and the middle school garage to pick up the kids things. The teachers had packed up their desks and lockers and there were different stations in the garage. A station to pick up a bag with the kids locker and desk thing. A station to drop off library books, a station to pick up art portfolios, etc. We never got out of our car. It was pretty organized and anti-climatic.

The teachers also tried to provide opportunities to say good-bye to the kids. Mrs. Conner and Mrs. Gaule came by the house with signs to say good-bye to Cadie. Ranger was able to say good-bye to Mrs. Larkin in the car pool line at the school. I don't think Colton was able to say good-bye to Mrs. Everett, but we emailed with her and she said that she missed Colton very much and that he was a "joy" to have in her class this past year.

I made the kids take a "last day of school" picture in the front yard which they thought was strange. We then wrapped up the evening with a neighborhood bounce house and movie night in the backyard. So long weird 2020 school year!
