Observations of End of the Year Chaos

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

The end of school in Austin is right around the corner (next week Thursday May 26th is the last day at Doss Elementary for Handsome Hudson and Beautiful Beckett).

                     

Starting the end of this week school days are jam-packed with extra activities and countless interruptions The weather is warming up and the anticipation of summer camps and family vacations means previously calm children (if there really are any) turn into feral cats!

Hudson and Beckett were so excited with “field day” yesterday at the school. The parents worked hard to recreate an old fashion day filled with 100-yard dash races, shot put, basketball throwing contests, long jump, three legged races, all the old fashion favorites that are so much fun! 

So glad they had lots of parents volunteering and the kids had the best day ever! My observation resulted in remembering back our end of the year school days and glad there are still some things that never change.

I remember when you wrote an end-of-the-year beginning-of-the-summer post last year - it feels like that was just a few months ago!

Great way to finish off a school year, Dorie. Your post made me think about my own end of school days and I can't remember events like this... maybe it's because I went to school in NY City and there weren't facilities for this kind of fun.

I remember participating in field day and it seemed that everyone always had a lot of fun.  I always liked the first day of school and the last day of school the most, not so much all of the in-between, haha.

I do too....the burden was transferred to the parents and thank goodness Hudson and Beckett's parents picked up the torch and these two are on track Myrl Jeffcoat .

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker ,

They have so many sporting places in Austin and their school campuses have running tracks and plenty of green space to hold activities like this! They are indeed fortunate.

Dorie:

Bet the kids are excited with all that's happening plus the pending last day of school. Hard to believe another school year has gone by. The Carlsbad schools still have 2 more weeks.

Hi Dorie,

After coming from California, where the school year starts in mid-September and goes to mid-June, it is still hard to get used to the kids being out of school next week.  Tristan gets out next Thursday, also.  We will probably spend more time with him during the summer.

Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE® ,

I've gotten use to the school schedule now and can see why with the hot summer months....kids do better out of school these months.
