Heinz Family Part 2!

Well, it happened. We blinked—and just like that, our little guy is officially a kindergarten graduate!

Leo wrapped up his first year of school with the sweetest little graduation celebration at Roncalli Primary. There were songs and a mini play where Leo had a speaking part as the letter E (he nailed it!)

While Leo is still very much our anxious, nervous, and shy boy, we are beyond proud of how much he’s grown. He made new friends, tackled new challenges, and finished the year excelling at so many things. He surprised us more than once with his curiosity, his courage to try new activities, and the little bits of independence that slowly emerged over the months.

We absolutely loved Miss Shoemaker and the entire team at Roncalli Primary. Their care, patience, and love for their students made all the difference. Blake and I look back at the decision to send Leo to Roncalli instead of the larger public school system, and we know we made the right choice for him. The smaller class sizes, the nurturing environment—it’s been everything we hoped for and more.

So here we are—kindergarten complete, summer on the horizon, and a first grader in the house this fall. We’re so proud of you, Leo!
