Maryn and Avery started Middle school here in Midland on September 4, 2013...the day after Labor Day.
That means they were out of school from before Memorial Day until Labor Day, folks!! Yes, indeed, it was the LONGEST summer of our LIVES!! LOL!!
They were excited, nervous, and chomping at the bit to get out of the house and MEET some new PEOPLE!
Avery is in 6th grade this year, and I really love how they do it at this school. They keep the 6th graders all in one hall where their lockers are straight across from their only 2 classrooms. It makes it less complicated as it is a really BIG school. The cafeteria and gym are also on the same floor.
Maryn is in 7th grade, and is mostly contained to a couple halls upstairs and downstairs though. She has had some work to do remembering where to go and trying to get there ON TIME!
Since starting school, they have both joined some clubs in an effort to meet people. Avery chose "Viking Leadership", which is like a student council. She will be required to do 15 hours of community service this year. Wow!
Maryn has joined "Art Honors Club", where she will get to work on some school murals, and help teachers decorate their rooms with some cool art projects.
Here's hoping the school year goes great!!

Maryn/Avery are just like LaRae/BriAnna ... LaRae does the same art thing in her high School, and BriAnna is all involved in Stu. Govt. Is it in the genes ?
Speaking of jeans ... they look cute in their new duds !
And Ave's hair is getting very pretty in the long-g-gness style.
Hallie just said, "they just started school?!?! Lucky!!!" :) Bwahahaha!!
They are the cutest in their first day picks. I bet they are old pros at it all by now. Hope they are loving it all!!
