Today was Calvin’s 8th grade promotion ceremony — but first, what is up with this stoplight?
I drive through this intersection several times a day and I’m pretty sure someone hit it and they didn’t straighten it out properly since I can hardly tell if it’s red or green anymore. That’s gotta be safe. Moving on . . .
The first step in our move to having a High Schooler, Middle Schooler, Elementary Schooler and a Preschooler next year. Calvin was promoted to 9th grade!
They did a slide show announcing class superlatives: “Most Likely to Win Nobel Peace Prize” or “Most Likely to Invent a Cure for Cancer” (thankfully there were no “Cutest Couple” or “Biggest Flirt” categories) and Calvin won “Most Likely to Come Back and Be Principal of the Bahrain School.” I could see that.
Low light + iPhone camera = blurry photos. Sorry.
The ceremony was Hawaiian themed with the idea that “Aloha” means both “Hello” and “Goodbye” since the students aren’t actually leaving the school, but moving up into High School classes.
It was a little difficult for the parents to keep from making jokes to each other about our kids getting “leid.”
She adores her big brother. Often during the school day she’ll say things like, “When my boys get home, can we . . . ?”
I wonder where we’ll be when he’s graduating from High School?
