The theme for the 2013-14 year is Discover. Emersyn is in her last year at Middle school as an 8th grader and Eleri is in her last year at Elementary school as a 4th grader. I love this post as it shows the girls changing and growing throughout the year.

June 12: Last Day of School

Last day of school and no photos. Eleri slept over at Ellie’s house since we were out past midnight for the 8th grade dance. Emersyn was too tired for a photo. A photo of Emersyn with her freinds at school in their class t-shirts from the dance.

Emersyn, Bella & Hayden

May 30: MS Field Day and ES Field Trip

After taking photos all week, the girls were rushing out the door. I grabbed a photo in the lift! Emersyn has MS Field Day and Eleri has a field trip to Tongli, a water town.

I am getting the “really” look from Emersyn!

May 26-29: MS Spirit Week

Monday – Pajama Day: Spirit week started off with Pajama Day. Emersyn wore her Monterey Bay Aquarium sleepover shirt.

Eleri wore her uniform as she is not part of the MS Spirit Week – next year!

Tuesday – Twin Day: Bella, Hayden and Emersyn order these off of Taobao for 70rmb ($12).

Wednesday – School Spirit Day: Emersyn wore her MUN shirt.

I couldn’t pass up the feet photos!

Thursday – School Sprit Day, Again: There was some confusion on Wednesday. Half the school came dress for Wacky Day and half came for Spirit Day…not everyone got the same emails. Emersyn wore her MUN shirt, Again.

May 2: ES Field Day

Ready to play in her pink and black!

April 21: ES Green Dress Day

Eleri loves this green dress from Mimi and loves having a reason to wear it to school.

Emersyn is away for Model United Nations (MUN), therefore, no photo of her on this day.

April 18: MUN Attire

Emersyn had to wear her MUN attire to school all week. MUN attire is black skirt/black pants/black jacket with a white shirt. She looks like she is ready for a day in the office.

March 21: ES Charity Dress

Elementary School had a free dress day for 30rmb ($5) for the charity of the month – Huge Grace Orphanage. Eleri wore her favorite sweatshirt from the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Aunt Kathy bought it for her over the summer!

Emerysn is setting a “style trend” wearing her hiking boots with her skirt. Today is the last day she will be setting her “trend”. She had to break her new boots in for the desert trip, which she leaves tomorrow for the adventure.

March 17: St. Patrick’s Day

Free dress is green for St. Patrick’s day. Emersyn’s green was her trip shirt from last year to Beijing.

Eleri had an adorable green poka-dot dress from Mimi.

March 7: MS Charity Dress

Middle School had a free dress day for 30rmb ($5) for the charity of the month – Huge Grace Orphanage.

February 14: Valentine’s Day Red and Pink

Both girls were excited for a free dress day. Eleri was very Valentine ready with her red and pink. Emersyn was happy to wear jeans to school.

December 20: ES Just Because

ES Students had Christmas dress. MS students did not since they were going off campus for their Christmas party. Emersyn is looking very “Middle School” wearing a skirt and a cardigan sweater.

October 25: International Dress Day

International Day is the day to dress from your country. The students enjoy an international fair to taste foods and play games from different countries. This year, we came prepared with our red, white and blue from Justice.

October 14: Professional Dress Day

The 4th Grade had a professional dress day. They were presenting their speeches at school to give them an opportunity to look the role.

Our middle schooler looker older in her skirt and sweater!

September 26: Magic School Bus Dress

The Magic School Bus came to school today. Its creators, author and illustrator, Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen were on campus for one day. The Es Students were asked to come dressed up as one of the characters or topics from the famed Magic School Bus books. Eleri went as Dorothy Ann.

September 25: Soccer Day

Eleri was all smiles for Grade 4 Soccer Day.

September 10: Photo Day

For photo day, Emersyn woke early to shower before school (first time ever)! She wanted her hair to look nice for photos. We re-blued her hair on Sunday for a fresh, blue look!

September 9: Photo Day

Eleri’s photo day. She is growing her hair and bangs out. I love her with bangs, but she wants to grow them out…then, probably cut them off! She is looking more grown up as she begins Grade 4.
