Student of the Month

 
 


Once again, Madeline got the honor of Student of the Month for the very first month of school! Talk about first impressions. . . . what a great feeling when we walked into school this morning and saw her "Scorecard" on the Student of the Month bulletin board. Her teacher, Mrs. Cody, said some wonderful things about Madeline and how she is always ready, willing, and able to help the TEAM! We are VERY proud of her.

BACK TO SCHOOL 2009



Well, here we go again. . . trying to get this blog updated! This year The Okenicas are going to try and go GREEN! I have been thinking already about our Holiday cards for this year and was reminded about my blog that seems to be in hibernation. The challenge to myself is to get this thing updated so that it is ready for you all in December. I keep up with alot of folks via Facebook and have been primarily posting photos/updates there, but hopefully the blog will be accessible for everyone.

So here it is. . . the children are back in school. We are starting our third week of school today, but the photo above is from Day 3 of school. Unfortunately, Madeline was ill the first 2 days so she had to miss. But here they are in front of our beloved Neptune Beach Elementary manatee very excited for another school year.

Madeline is in 3rd grade and has Mrs. Cody and Mrs. Novak. They are actually switching between teachers for different subjects. She LOVES this! Madeline is still playing soccer this year, but has moved to an Academy Travel team instead of Rec. The big difference is they practice 2 times per week and really keep score!

Cameron is in 1st grade and has Mrs. Moses. He is having lots of fun already! Cameron is back to baseball this Fall. He had so much fun last Spring that he could not wait to get back to ball field this Fall.

Games start next week. . . and so will the MADNESS!

Love to all,
Debbie
