The photos of free dress for the year is always a fun recap of the year to see how much the girls have changed. Emersyn has finished 7th grade and Eleri finished 3rd grade. How quickly the school year has gone, again.
June 11: Last Day of School
June 7: ES Just Because
June 6: ES Just Because
May 27-May 31: MS Spirit Week
MS Students have spirit week at school. It is always fun to dress in unusual ways.
Monday – School Spirit Day: Emersyn wore Cal blue and gold under her gold vest.
Tuesday – Wacky/backward Day: Now that she is a 7th grader, she can’t be to backwards!
Wednesday – Sports Jersey Day: Of course, Emersyn is wearing SF Giants – Jim’s jersey so it is just a bit too big!
Thursday – Crazy hat/tie Day: The tie is wood from Nepal – just fun.
Friday – MS Field Day: Emersyn was on the yellow team and her birthday!
May 21: ES Soccer Day
Soccer Day is an all day event at SAS campus.
May 3: ES Field Day
For field day, Eleri was on the team Japan. She needed to wear red and white to match her team mates.
April 22: Green Day
Free dress was green for green week at school – living a more “green” lifestyle. We do our best as a family. We use reusable water bottles. The girls have 100% green lunches with reusable snack boxes instead of plastic bags, silverware and cloth napkins.
March 12: Just Because
A “just because” free dress day to bring smiles to a couple of girls.
February 28: Free Dressed Earned
Free dress for 7th graders only today. The 7th graders earned a free dress day by contributing the most funds to the charity of the month, Heart to Heart. Emersyn has been selling cupcakes – that makes me the baker!
Eleri in her uniform.
February 22: ES Book Parade
Eleri’s book character this year was the little sister in the book, “Big Sister, Little Sister”. It is one of Eleri’s favorite books.
February 7: Chinese Dress Day
Chinese Dress Day at school for Chinese New Year. Emersyn wore a traditional skirt from the Yunnan Area.
Eleri wore a costume from a performance at Dulwich when she was 4. Eleri was a sheep herder for the CNY performance. The dress was big for her when she was 4, but I was surprised it still fit. We cut the elastic out of the pants because it was too tight.
February 5: Just Because
It was a cold, rainy day in Shanghai, but you can’t tell from what the girls are wearing!
January 15: Just Because
A free dress day to wear some new Christmas clothes – new jacket, new shirt and new necklace!
No photos of Eleri as she was home sick all week with a fever.
December 12: ES Free Dress Only
A free dress for ES (Elementary School). It may be winter in Shanghai, but you can’t tell from Eleri’s choice in clothes…except for the Uggs. After wearing her Uggs all day INSIDE, we have declared she may not wear them to school anymore. Eleri has always had hot, little feet…her feet were sweating in the Uggs. By the end of the day, her socks were wet and her feet smelled!!
November 20: Just Because
The girls love “just because” free dress days!
October 26: National Dress Day for International Day
International Day at school – red, white and blue! I have a small bag of accessories from Claire’s. I always buy a few fun items after the 4th of July for 50%-75% off. The glasses are from the Expo – not practical, but fun for photos.
September 18: Just Because
Free dress day and Eleri wanted to braid her hair to create the “Santa Cruz Sandy” look. With her hair now short, we weren’t too sure if it would look good AND it is too short to hide in pig tails or something. But, it turned out fun and Eleri loved it!
Emersyn wore regular shoes for the first time. She doesn’t think the hiking boots are a fashion statement, but they protect her ankle.
September 12: Photo Day
The ONLY day I get veto power on hair and clothes. I braided Emersyn’s hair and she wore it down (not in the usual pony tail). She has this amazing, beautiful hair that is in a pony tail EVERY day. They both looked adorable for photo day!
