In another post, I want to tell you about my amazing graduate. But that will be a post entirely of its own. Right now, I just want to write about our evening and the ceremony, because I don't ever want to forget.
The beginning was a little chaotic as it started very late. They wouldn't start the tribute videos that were supposed to be first until the Board of Education finished their meeting, but the BOE didn't realize that. Oops! A video was first shown as a message from the teachers, and then some candid videos of students were shown. There were then lots of speakers, and then the slide show of the graduates. It was so nice to be able to see the pictures, although I really, really wish I could've hugged so many of the students in person. Overall, I really thought it was all very special.
Our friends arrived just as things were starting (which added to the chaos). Once we all get settled though, we were so very grateful to have them with us. They really helped to make the evening special. Catherine even told us how much she enjoyed getting to experience all of it with us rather than sitting on the floor while the rest of us were sitting in the stands.
Afterwards, we had some dessert and Catherine opened a few cards that had arrived. Honestly, it was truly a lot of fun, and I'm so grateful that Catherine enjoyed it as much as she did. I know so many people worked so very hard to make sure things were special for the students, and I think they succeeded. It was truly a special evening!
