Summer At Last!

This was the last week of school for Laurel. The Sam Brannan Middle School 8th grade promotion ceremony was held on Tuesday (she's the one in the chocolate dress.) The class went on a field trip to Six Flags Marine World on Wednesday, and attended the Sam Brannan "carnival" on campus Thursday. So today, Friday is her first day of summer vacation.

Next year, Laurel will attend the PACE program at John F. Kennedy High School. The program is intensive, and the incoming freshman are required to attend summer school for 4 weeks in June and July. So my darling daughter will be studying English, Geography, and History on the California State University campus beginning a week from Monday and going on one exciting field trip each Friday, culminating with an overnight camp at Donner Park.

Due to a resignation at the library, I have an opportunity to change my work week to Sunday-Thursday again, leaving me off on Fridays and Saturdays - perfect for chaperoning those lovely trips to Oakland, San Francisco, Alcatraz, and Donner Park!
