This past week- David graduated from 8th grade. This graduation no cap and gown or tassel like in 5th grade. The one teacher who made the comment a few years ago when asked why we were going all out for graduation, his daughter also graduated with David. His comment was - that he thought that for some of the kids- the 5th grade graduation was the only graduation they would ever see.
I am proud to say that ALL of the kids that graduated from Brookes 5th grade and went to Mendenhall - ALL graduated 8th grade this past week.
Coincidentally - The teacher, John Phillips was sitting three rows ahead of me - Gee should I have gone up to say, " See John all these kids graduated no problems!" I did not!
Don't you just love his "smile? ( David) He did wear a tie for graduation - but the heat was unbearable!!!!!!!!!!!!!
