When the kids in Prairie Elementary are in 6th grade they get to participate in the Village People. This is when all the 6th grades work down at the Village at various jobs. You get to write down their picks of where they would like to work and then two are picked for each one. They work a shift at their first job in the morning and then they work the second shift at their next place later that day. Alexa got Macy's and Spangler's. You can see their display that they got to create at Spangler's. The display was Alexa's favorite part of her job. I came in when she was doing an inventory of a new product arrival. They made sure the order was complete and even put it out on the floor.
Alexa graduated elementary school today! It seems only yesterday that we sent her to Kindergarten!
During the graduation, all the kids said what they wanted to be when they grow up. Alexa said she wanted to me a Graphic Designer. Once they all went though and said what they wanted to be, they sang a few songs they learned at camp and showed us a dance they also learned.
Afterwards they all went to the cafeteria for a candy and cookie party.
Alexa did great at Olympics day today. She jumped 4" and she came in second place for the girls. The Olympic Day is where all the different local elementary school 6th graders get together and compete in a track day.
