Another good thing sort of worked out for me, since I was driving a couple of hours over to see the promotion. The last day of swimming lessons for him and baby sister, Linley, was taking place right before the evening ceremony. So, I got two special visits for the price of one trip. I'll post about swimming lessons on another day.
We arrived at the space across from Harris's school in plenty of time for him to don his gown and hat and gather with his classmates and teacher for their formal processional. We found a central location and set up our folding chairs in ready to take it in.
We posed with the Kindergarten graduate and snapped photos so that we could commemorate the milestone. Then, he went to join his teacher for the formal certification.
Each child's name was called and he came forward through the curtains to accept a certificate from his teacher. Then, moved on off to the side to wait for the remainder of his classmates.
Like most graduation ceremonies, it was a hot one for the graduates and the spectators as well. Somehow we made it through, however.
Staying hydrated helped some of us to keep going through the heat!
Following the ceremony, the graduates turned in their official cap and gown and took turns jumping and bouncing on the blow ups that were assembled.
Then, most of us took a quick stop at the local Dairy Bar to cap off the special event. We are so proud of our graduate and look forward to the next milestone for celebrating!
Congratulations, Harris! And best wishes for your future!
