CMS Graduation

Cecelia is officially a lower elementary student, Lydia is an extended day primary student, and Sylvia will move to a regular primary classroom.  It is official, my girls are growing up.

The whole thing is bitter sweet.  We will miss Sylvia's teachers Miss Peggy, because she was always so positive, Miss Brostron because she had a way of making every students feel special, and Miss Holly because she could always share in a laugh and has helped to raise the youngest since she started at 12 months old.  We are fortunate to have Miss Weber another 2 years for Lydia.  Mrs. Jordan will now have Sylvia now so we don't have to say goodbye just yet.

We did have a goodbye bouquet for the 3 teachers in Sylvia's class since they will not be returning to the school.  The kids in the class did thumbprints on a vase from painted Zebra and I turned them into lady bugs, a symbol of good luck.  Cecelia's room had 7 graduates.  They too made a vase with thumbprint flowers for Mrs. Jordan.  On the last day all students brought flowers for the teachers and made a friendship bouquet to remember them by.

Following graduation we celebrated by going to Doozles for Ice cream.  I feel like a trader after so many years at Lyon's but our graduate got to pick and it is owned by Olivia's dad; I can't compete with that.  Maybe next year we can start the Lyon's tradition.
