SENIOR YEAR SHENANIGANS

THE TRADITIONAL SENIOR AND SKIP DAY
Our wonderfully fun Faustina Academy principal always okays the Senior Prank and the Senior Skip Day
Mrs. Mehaffey knows the important memories that last a lifetime......especially when I comes to friends and camaraderie.
This is a great group of kids who I pray will be friends forever. I love our tiny Christ-Centered school
Thank you Mrs. Mehaffey for shepherding this most important flock, in friendship and most importantly, in Faith
Can't start Senior Skip Day on an empty stomach....iHOP filling-station station with friends
GET YOUR TAN ON
Madison and Ashely Target their outfits on a Target Run
Their tank tops say "Virtuous Girls Rule". Well....Because they do!
Sunbathing in our backyard......trying to get some color before graduation
SPORTS BANQUET
Each of my girls earned awards that night.....It was a night to remember....it was bittersweet as Savannah celebrated her very FIRST sports banquet as a freshman.....and Madison celebrated her LAST high school banquet.
Oh.....where does the time go
Savannah received a great honor in Softball,. It was an award based on team spirit, sportsmanship, never giving up AND always wearing a joyful smile as she cheers on her teammates
I didn't even have my camera ready as Coach Flood described this amazing player in front of the crowd.....then she exclaimed..."This award goes to Savannah Lustig!"
She was also recognized in volleyball as well
My heart fluttered with joy at the moment Savannah's name was called
Madison was awarded honorable mention for volleyball, playing well in the TAPPS regional tournament
FIELD DAY
Each senior heads up a team.....obviously Madison was asked to lead the purple team
Madi and Benny
Savannah, Mary, Natalie, and Madeline
Madison and Ashley went all out with their color theme......the younger kids loved it
Savannah and Natalie........on different teams competing against one another, but yet still best friends
FUN AND JOYFULLY BLESSED DAY INDEED

SENIOR MOM'S BRUNCH
Each senior wrote a special letter to their mom to read allowed at the brunch
Madison blessed me with the most beautiful letter, that she read to me, while I wept at the back table
My Dearest Lord Jesus
I am so grateful to be able to celebrate this special day with Madison. Thank You Jesus for the gift of new life...I get to be a part of all of these important milestones with my children

I did not get a lot of pics, because I wanted to soak up EVERY minute of the graduation party
Lots of visiting.....
Lot's of eating.......
Lots of playing games and hanging out.......
More playing.....
And LOTS of dancing......
I really prayed fervently for this party to be all that our Lord wanted it to be.
His children can glorify Him through joyful celebrations, enjoying the gifts of friends and special milestones and life moments that He has showered us with
Jesus's gift to His children is PURE JOY
And this evening was purely joyful!
Father, You are the Truly Joy Personified
All of our extended family, teachers, parents, little kids and teenagers, graduates, and even our most holy priest, Fr Michael all celebrated together.
Kids were jumping into the pool with their clothes on and laughing, little ones were singing and dancing and even the adults danced in joyful celebration
JESUS, YOU LOVE HAPPINESS.....YOU ARE HAPPINESS
***********************
Everyone had a great and "crazy"time!
And even better.......
Everyone had a great and "crazy"time...
TOGETHER!
This made my heart sing praises to Our Loving Lord Jesus.....the Maker of joy!
I never wanted the night to end.
Thank You my Lord Jesus Christ,
You are always The Reason for Celebration,
You are the reason for not only celebrating, but celebrating together as one body of Christ! It was all that I had dreamed it would be, and more
You did it Jesus! You did it for the kids, the grown ups, the teachers, the families.....You did it for all of Your beloved children
Everyone visited and caught up with friends, played games, danced and sang songs late into the night.
I love You Lord Jesus! You are the best Teacher, Savior, Mighty Creator and our Faithful Loving Daddy.
You love to spoil Your children....just as every daddy does.
Thank You for tonight
It will be a night that I will never forget.....what a wonderful celebration
JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU
