5th Grade Day

Customize your own scrapbook design Let me try to describe 5th grade day for those of you lucky enough not to know what it is.  5th grade day is where all the PTA moms who have struggled and sacrificed for 6 years working daily at the elementary school try to make the rest of us look bad.  They also bring a select few dads into the mix just to make you resent your 'non-volunteering' husband (in case you didn't already). Basically they play games, have a cookout and an awards ceremony.  Then they have a 30 minute video slideshow featuring mostly pictures of the child and his friends of whatever family created the slideshow.  They play really sappy music and hand out tissues.  Look, these kids aren't going away to college.  They are going across town to the middle school.  Katie is just ten years old.  I don't quite need a hankie...yet.  And the best part is that Katie is not a sentimental kid so she spent most of the day rolling her eyes.  I really couldn't be prouder.
