Luke's Big Day(s)

Last Friday, Luke graduated from Kindergarten. It was such a sweet little ceremony. They sang some songs, quoted Scripture they had learned and read little stories they had written about themselves. Luke had read the most books in the class. 84! That is quite a accomplishment for him and doesn't even include all the books he's read on his own here at home. Mrs. Varn, who is retiring from teaching this year, wrote a little thing about each of the students on the back on their diploma. She really knows her kids and hit the nail on the head with each one of them. Here is what she wrote for Luke:

Luke is the oldest in his family. He has done a great job at Holloway House. He is a very good student always doing neat and thorough work. He is a deep and methodical thinker. He finished every Holloway House key chain and has become a great reader. Luke also has a creative mind and is very able to build some great creations with our bristle blocks. Luke is rather quiet and humble but has a mind that is always working. I will miss you, Luke but you will love first grade. Congratulations.

Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life. Proverbs 22:4
What a great teacher!


The Class of 2021!


Can't you just see his excitement? lol


Luke also lost his first tooth on Wednesday! Finally! He already has the new ones up behind his baby teeth so it was high time to get them out. No, we didn't do the tooth fairy. He's almost seven and is already in on the know. However, he did receive a dollar with the information that the next is worth two dollars and so on until we reach 5.

Congratulations on finishing kindergarten! We were on vacation on our trip to Alaska, so I'm just catching up on all your family news. Glad that first tooth finally came out. I love books, too, Luke, and have a special one I read as a child to give to you when we see you next.
