Promotion ceremonies

On Thursday, Casey's school held their 6th grade promotion ceremony. There were 52 students promoted to Junior Hi. Each student was presented with a certificate of promotion and some other goodies. When they processed out they took a rose from a vase and went into the audience to present it to a person who they wanted to honor (insert mother or father here).

Carrie and Dave brought her a lovely bouquet of roses. That evening we went to the Olive Garden for dinner.












Friday was the ceremony for the students at Stevens school. Malita and Fiston are my special friends from that school (Malita is in yellow). Their ceremony was much more low key. Kids were not all decked out. No special awards for academic prowess. These two refugees looked lost most of the time.
Needless to say, my foot did not like being dragged out for such long expanses of time. I spent all of Saturday on the couch, feeling like my foot was about to explode inside the cast (well actually only the toes, which are really not in the cast at all.)
