Shawn's last day of school

Monday the 8th was Shawn's last day of school. His elementary school career was full of ups and downs and I have to say for what its worth, it was a great journey. Princess Nahienaena school for us has done a wonderful job.
This year he seemed to make leaps and bounds, now I know there are some people that think Hawaii's school system lacks in many ways, but I do think with what the teachers are given to work with, they certainly do an amazing job and they do put their heart and soul into making sure they are doing all they can and more. Plus, I do think that when parents are involved in their children's education and interests it makes more well rounded and successful children which is what Gevin and I strive to do everyday. Mahalo to all his teacher's (Mrs. Matsui (1st grade) Mrs. Lambert (1st and 2nd SPED), Ms Caterina (2nd grade), Ms Perko (3rd grade), Mrs. Sadang (3rd SPED), Mr. Rogers (4th grade), Ms. Perko, again (4th SPED), Ms. Nelson (5th grade) and finally Mr. Bratcher (5th SPED), for all you hard work and extra time and effort with Shawn and our family over the years!!! Mr. Bratcher, we will miss you the most!!! You have done an amazing job with him this year. We discovered a much happier and confident Shawn. I wish he could have been with you for more time. You are a truly unique and one of a kind teacher!!
We will miss everyone at the school and look forward to Shawn going to Lahaina Intermediate to begin 6th grade. Wow!!! How time flies!! We are so proud of you Shawn for all you hard work and determination!!!
