P365 - 2017 - Day 166 - Just like that
Just like that, the year has come to an end... and with it the end of an era. No longer will a Leonard kid catch a bus on the corner of 93rd and Long Beach Blvd. After the final awards ceremony where The Boy was awarded a special medal for breaking the school mile record - set by his brother two years ago, the Presidential Fitness Award, Honor Roll for the year, Safety Patrol, Perfect Attendance, and the Outstanding Academic Achievement (from last night's graduation), he walked out of the Long Beach Island Grade School as the last of the Leonard children. Four years ago, this school and district welcomed us with open arms as we made our way back home to NJ and settled our family and our hearts on this 18 mile sandbar we call home. This school will always hold special memories for us all and it was bittersweet to see that come to an end.... This handsome young man is ready to move on over the bridge to Southern Regional Middle School but he will always be a Sandpiper at heart.
