Morgan graduated from Center Street School (she completed fifth grade) and will be attending El Segundo Middle School next year.
The school had a nice promotion ceremony, with Morgan getting a certificate for her participation in CAT (Cougar Action Team). Morgan also ended up with all As and Bs on her final report card; she was close to getting a C in Science but managed to turn in some extra credit.

Center Street School held its annual Ice Cream Social. It is one of the major fundraisers of the school year. Iris and Ron worked the fifth grade booth, selling pizza (courtesy of zpizza in El Segundo), Chinese chicken salad, Frito boats, and drinks.

The Center Street School Cougar Choir performed at Universal Studio’s “Music in the Park” competition. The choir sang one warm-up piece, Pie Jesu, and two judged pieces, All Night, All Day and Exsultate Cantamos Festivo.
Morgan is in the top row, second from the left.
The Choir placed First and earned the second highest point total for all ages and categories.
The Cougar Choir is composed of third, fourth, and fifth grade students from Center Street School in El Segundo. They are led by Ms. Rebecca Wright and accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Karyn Adams.
The El Segundo Elementary School Musical Instrument Program at both Richmond Street and Center Street Schools held their Spring Recital. Morgan played a duet of “This Old Man” with her classmate, Lily. About halfway through the song (the 0:41 second mark in the video below), a bottom valve cap came off of Morgan’s trumpet and rolled off stage, ending their number.
Morgan’s elementary school, Center Street School, had their annual Halloween parade this morning. It’s always a fun time, and some of the costumes are very creative. The teachers always dress up and some of them always put on a skit of some kind. This year, Mr. Guy, Mr. Raukko and Mr. Gladous were the Blues Brothers, while Ms. Read, Ms. Scaltrito, and a couple of others that I didn’t recognize dressed up in Hairspray outfits.
This year, Morgan wanted to be Major Flirt, a costume sold through Party City. Boy, the costumes for younger girls are starting to get a little too risque.
First day of school for the kids. They both go to Center Street Elementary, which is one of two elementary schools in town. Took me a bit to get back into the swing of things, as far as making them breakfast, packing their lunch, fixing a snack, hustling them off to school.
Stephanie is starting fifth grade and Morgan second grade. Stephanie didn’t want me to walk her to her class; said it would be too “embarrassing” to be walked to class by a parent. Hoo boy, aren’t we all grown up, now. It worked out because when I drove them to school, there was no parking to be found close by, so I just dropped them off at the rear of the school and they each found their way to their classrooms.
New school schedule this year: each and every Monday is a minimum day, meaning students get out at 1:30 instead of 2:45. That’s going to be tougher for families where both parents work.
