In New York, we have 2.5 days left of the school year before summer officially begins.  (And because in Fayetteville the last day of school was May 31st and the first day of school is August 19th, this means Huck is about to enjoy the shortest summer ever.)  Here are pictures from the many end-of-school-year festivities at our beloved Muscota, a hard place to say goodbye to.  (Thankfully we don’t have to for 2.5 days.)

Second Grade field trip to the Whitney Art Museum and Central Park

Honey Bee & Lady Bug

Muscota Museum of Art (MuMa) – Here’s Huck with his buyer (and dear friend) Mahlet

Muscota Spring Gala – Troy was the auctioneer and helped raise around $10,000 for the school!

Muscota’s wonderful principal Camille

Mahlet really is quite the art collector!  Here she is with a 2nd grade class painting of Manhattan.

Huck was the happy recipient of teacher Dayna’s special DRAMA KIT, thanks to his mother’s ruthless silent bidding skills.

Mini Mall – with cousin Lily!

And something I don’t have pictures of (because I’ve never witnessed it) is Huck’s short career as a Cheetah mascot for the girls’ recess basketball team over the last couple of months.  Oh, Muscota.  You’re adorable!
