The Catherine

 Catherine changed her lock screen to a picture of her true love:

Al, the Isert cat.

She also had her final sixth grade band concert.

Taking a final bow:

With her friend Gianna:

(we gave her wildflower seeds instead of a bouquet).

I have been so impressed with Catherine's dedication to music (and to her schoolwork in general). 
She just gets it done, with no reminders. Middle school has been a fantastic experience for her and I'm so grateful. 

This is also when she decided she was going to try out for jazz band in the fall (they gave a very impressive performance that night). We shall see if she's still interested come September!
