Welcome to Junior High!

It has become a tradition during the last week of school to welcome the grade 6 into junior high. Many of the kids from the 7, 8 and 9th grades come to the party (I serve ice cream) and they participate in the party activities, games, eating, etc.
I’ve heard stories of the kids in grade 6 each year getting so excited waiting to enter junior high that they can’t even sleep the night before the big welcome!



Jean was my wonderful photographer during both the Youth Bash (see below) and the Welcome to Junior High activities. Here she is having fun with the water balloon launcher. Yes- I don't know how to work her camera or the lighting would have been better.



Rachel and Ruth WERE in 8th grade, but will enter 9th in August. I just thought this was a cute photo of them.
