Max's 5th Grade Awards Night

The night of Scott's graduation was also Max's 5th grade awards night.

Max was fortunate to have Mr. Z (also known as Jason Zimmerman) as his teacher.

Mr. Z was Elisabeth's 6th grade P.E. teacher, Jake's 6th grade teacher, Scott's 6th grade teacher, Cole's 6th grade teacher, and Max's 5th grade teacher.

It's not often that pretty much a whole family can be blessed to have such an amazing teacher!

Even when they changed the school boundaries and we went to the new school, Mr. Z ended up at our new school also. 

Mr. Z is one of those teachers that leaves a lasting impression on his students.  He has a way with his students and they learn valuable skills -- more than just the what's on the curriculum.  I really believe that my older boys have done so well in school because of skills that Mr. Z has taught them.   

 Thanks to Mr. Z for being so amazing!

Max worked really hard in 5th grade and improved greatly during the year.

We were so proud of his achievements this year and know that he'll continue to work hard in the 6th grade. 

 Max is such a great kid! 

 He was asked to be the captain of the track team because of his leadership skills.  He took it very seriously and did a great job encouraging his teammates. Max is very likable.  And so dang cute!  (Even with a buzzed head.)
