Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

8th grade graduation

Baby girl is growing up.  I can't believe she will be starting high school in the fall.  The Jr High had an 8th grade graduation ceremony for the kids last night.  It was handled similar to real graduation.  The kids walked in in pairs and sat as a group off to the side.  There were speakers:  The Jr High principal, the High School Counselor and the High School student body president.


The Principal called out the kids names and they walked across the stage, shaking her hand and then receiving a certificate stating their completion of 8th grade and moving onto High School.


The kids who earned the President's Outstanding Academic Excellence Award were also acknowledged.  There were I think 7 boys and Myranda was the only girl.  They were given the Award for maintaining above a 3.75 gpa for 5 semesters.


We are so proud of you, Myranda!
