The Graduates: 8th Grade
Kristin and 3 of her friends won the Presidential Academic Award for Excellence. All four kids gave short speeches. TB knew Kristin was writing a speech but had no idea what it was for. This was a very pleasant surprise for us!
These kids won the principal's award. Good for you three! :)
The chorus sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" and it became pretty emotional for the graduates and their teacher.
Unfortunately, none of the pictures of Kristin or her friends getting their diplomas came out. :(
Kristin and some of her friends right after graduation. Two or three of the kids weren't around to be in the picture--they were looking for parents or had to leave.
Kristin's having a small get together tomorrow with her friends as one of them is leaving for the west coast for the summer.
Way to go, Class of 2006 from the junior high!
Later: high school graduation
