Anther fun year at Concordia. Emersyn finished her second year at middle school as a 6th grader and Eleri was a 2nd grader for the 2011-2012 school year. Wearing a daily uniform does bring fun to free dress days. This post is a fun recap of the year.
June 7: Last Day of School
May 22: Just Because for Eleri
Eleri sporting her new short hair cut. She wanted to cut it off short. She loves it!
May 21 – May 25: MS Spirit Week
The middle school students have Spirit Week to dress in fun themes each day of the week.
Monday – Celebrity Day: Emersyn went as Kelly Clarkson, but most people thought she was Taylor Swift.
Tuesday – Summer Vacation Day: That was a fun and easy one.
Wedenesday – Wacky Day: Always fun to be wacky!
Thursday – Favorite Teacher Day: Emersyn chose Ms Poppel, of course.
Friday – MS Field Day: Ready for the sports of the day. Emersyn was on the green team.
Eleri in her uniform. ES students didn’t get the same fun wacky dress this year.
May 22: Just Because for ES Students
May 4: Splash Day for ES students
Eleri had a fun afternoon with Splash Day for ES students. See post at Splash Day.
March 19: Emersyn’s Skirt Uniform
Emersyn ask me to buy her a uniform skirt. She looks so “middle school” grown up in her skirt and boots.
March 16: St. Patrick’s Green Day Dress
Free dress in green. Both girls were up early so I could braid their hair. Emersyn wanted a goddess braid. She wears her hair in a pony tail EVERY day. It is nice to see her beautiful hair flow free!
Eleri made her hat last night. I attempted to help her, but I never have any good ideas…only Jim…even if they are the same ones as mine! Needless to say, Jim has become the “making King” in the house.
March 8: Middle School Free Dress Day
Eleri did not have free dress today. She has grown this year resulting in “floods” for her pants. She wears colorful warm socks to keep her ankles warm. New uniform pants for her next winter.
March 2: Free Dress for Charity
Free Dress Day was for Charity. Each child gave 10rmb ($1.60) to the Will Foundation if they chose to dress for the cause. It is a brilliant way to raise money for charity.
February 14: Valentine’s Day Red & White Dress
Emersyn and I made cupcakes (chocolate with white frosting and sprinkles) for her class for Valentine’s day. As a family, we have been watching the Brady Bunch – Emersyn’s inspiration for her hairstyle (makes you smile – doesn’t it).
Eleri has a Valentine’s party in her class today. Other Moms were bringing treats so I did get a break. Eleri and I spent the weekend making Valentine’s for her class. I traced the hearts and cut them out. Eleri wrote on them and taped them to a lollipop.
December 9: Just Because for ES Students ONLY
Eleri had free dress, but Emersyn did not. A quick photo as we were running for the lift!
November 22: Just Because
Eleri had a field trip today, therefore, she was required to wear her trip shirt.
Eleri was given free dress day the following day which was also the Thanksgiving feast for the 1-2 community
.
November 18: Book Character Parade
Book Week is always a fun week at school for the ES students. The week ends with a book character parade dressed as a favorite book character. Eleri went as “Pinkalicious.” See post at Book Character Day.
October 21: International Day
The PSO International Day is a day for the children to visit various tables/booth representing different countries. This is a parent sponsored event. The different countries represent the variety of students attending Concordia. The girls dressed in red, white and blue for the day.
October 18: Just Because
Eleri has a style all her own. She wanted to put pins in her jeans. I said yes, but she had to wear an older pair as I am the practical one. If she puts holes in the jeans, she won’t wear them…but you never know with Elle. She put the 10 pins in herself.
No photo of Emerysn this free dress day. She has been home with strep throat all week.
September 20: Just Because
Emersyn went with practical – she has tennis lessons after school, so she wore her tennis gear. Eleri went with funky.
August 30: School Photos
This is the only day I get veto power on hair and dress. Both girls picked out simple tops for their school photos – perfect. No veto power was issued!
