Zach has graduated from the 8th grade! He will be in high school in the fall!!! Where I come from (small towns!), the only graduation that you get is when you graduate from high school! Not here in Sioux City! We have been through Pre-School Graduation, 5th Grade Graduation, and now 8th Grade Graduation!
Since the graduation ceremony itself was in the morning, I had to take a couple hours off from work to be able to go, but I am glad that I didn't miss it. It was a very nice ceremony... almost just like the high school graduation ceremony! All the students had their names read off as they came down the aisle to their seats, the choir sang a song, and the Superintendent of the Sioux City School District, Larry Williams, gave a little speech. Awards were handed out and even retiring faculty members were honored during the ceremony. After the ceremony, parents were able to go down to the courtyards and find their son/daughter to take pictures, etc. I had to get back to work, so I left. After this ceremony, the eighth graders had lunch and then had a dance in the gym for the rest of the afternoon. We will probably take Zach out for supper, but we have to find a night when all of us are available! It may not be until we go on vacation next week!!! Anyway... Congratulations, Zach on your 8th Grade Graduation!!! We love you!
