High School Graduate!

Well it has been a whirlwind couple of weeks!  End-of-year activities, AP tests, senior's last day, and final Senior outings have filled the end of high school for David.

SENIOR AWARDS CEREMONY.  That was a neat occasion last week.  David received 3 awards:


Honor Roll for 4 Years
National Merit Letter of Commendation and
Achievement in Business Law

PIE NIGHT.  Friday night we had some of David's friends and their parents over, for Graduation Pie Night!  I had hoped for good weather, so people could be outside and the kids could jump on the trampoline some...but no, it was not to be.  Pie Night was a torrential downpour--we stayed inside!  Ha.  It was fine.

It was a record-breaker for our little house, though.  51 people were here!  24 seniors came, and quite a few of their parents came too.  It was a nice chance to catch up, and get to know better some of the parents we didn't know so well.  What a nice group of people David hangs out with. :)

We put pies at the dining room table, pies in the family room, and pies downstairs.  Yum.  Of course, I was scrambling so much I didn't take photos while the people were here...just of some decorations.

Can't forget the Graduation Ducks...and ninjas.

GRADUATION CEREMONY.  After the downpour, we held our breath...it was supposed to clear up for Sunday's ceremony, but...would it?

Turns out that it did clear up for us, and it would not have been nicer if we had put in a special order.  Blue skies and sunshine for the afternoon, and temps right around 80.

There were 3 student speakers, 2 adult speakers, and the band played on...there were just 215 graduates.  We live in a small town.  In the case of a graduation ceremony, this is a good thing. :)

Here are some photos.  It was a happy, happy day for everybody there!  And it was held outside, so no restrictions on how many could be there.  If it had rained, the graduates only get limited tickets.

Congratulations, David!
