The Kindergarten Graduate

Last year at this time I was emotional thinking about Connor going to kindergarten.  And now...he's a graduate.  Oh how I wish I could stop time.  First grade seems so OLD! :( But he had a FABULOUS year in kindergarten and loved every minute of it.  We really liked his school and his wonderful teacher (who ended up becoming MY friend!) As a parent, I really couldn't have asked for anything better!

 Receiving his diploma from principal, Dr. Brady

 Those in attendance...

After all the kindergartners received their diplomas, we went back to the classroom for individual awards.

 We were SO proud of Connor.  He received the music award (picked by the music teacher,) the classroom award of "Most Observant" and (my favorite) Perfect Attendance!

It's kind of hard to hear, but here is the video of Ms. Outlaw presenting Connor with his awards.

 YEA!! School's out for the summer!

Just for fun, here's a look back at the 1985 kindergarten graduates from First Baptist, Livingston, Texas.

 I mentioned my favorite award for Connor was the perfect attendance award.  Actually, neither Connor nor Reid missed one day of school this year.  The star ribbon I am wearing  here was for perfect attendance.  I then went on to have perfect attendance for the next 12 years, meaning I made it 13 years without ever missing a day of school.  There's no pressure for my boys! ;)  I am so very thankful for good health!  

Bring on 1st grade *sniff, sniff*
