8th Grade Graduation

 We celebrated Jack's 8th grade graduation tonight with a mass at the church. The girls sang beautifully, too. Jack was awarded with the Presidential Education Award for Academic Excellence for having all As. He has been at St. Vincent for the last 8 years and it will be odd not to have him riding in the front seat with us to school next year. He has grown up so much and we are thankful for all his teachers he had over the years that have loved and supported him. Off to Bentonville High School in the fall. We ate at Outback before the mass/ceremony and after we came home to Dairy Queen ice cream cake.

We were so glad to have Mimi there

A lot of the boys

Jack and Connor. Connor left this year but came back to see everyone graduate

These two were peas in a pod. Yandel is on his toes in this picture!

Jack's geometry teacher. She was a great teacher this year for him

Ella is a good friend to the girls. They will be graduating before we know it!

The geometry glass with Mrs. Pardetti. This was a great class for these kids

The moms

Molly and the girls. She is such a good role model to them

Kamdyn and the girls--such a good kid

This was Jack's first girlfriend! They broke up last year though

The moms and the kids. Jack wasn't a fan of this picture. For some reason, I was friends with all the girl moms and not the boy moms?

Jack's first grade teacher (and taught him ELA in 5th and 6th)

Jack's 5/6th science teacher and was also his foreign language teacher this year

When we got home, he played basketball in the driveway...with no shirt!

Odd that we got this when we got home from his graduation.
