*They rented out an entire church
*When we walked in we were escorted to a certain side (based on who your teacher was) I almost responded "we are friends of the bride"
*Parents are in full on suits and ties and women in dresses and I kid you not one in a Bonnet as if she was going to sit on the Easter Bunnies lap afterwards.
*Then a music procession begins and a full 1/2 hour slide show begins, which btw you could purchase after the event for $3. What is this senior prom? (Seriously though it was really cute they took pix of the kids from all year and all their events and made this slide show that really solidifies how much I love where they go to school!)
*The kids are then led in into the church dressed in full graduation caps and led across the stage in a large motorcade to be applauded.
*Then they begin to present awards to the kids (each one got one in the detrimental era of no one looses) like class clown, most likely to be a "fill in the blank" Brooke took home the "sweetest girl award" - and as it was spoken I was so proud but then felt the need to almost protest and request that they accompany her home some nights :)
* Each teacher then gave tear filled speeches about how much they will miss these kids.....
*Then each kid is announced given a diploma and a public school welcome kit.
*Then we went downstairs to have a full on refreshments and treats.
I don't think my high school did that much for us.......Brooke was loving every minute of it! Brady on the other hand had enough after about an HOUR AND A HALF of the festivities (so much for my 15 minute theory!) So we headed out to dinner to celebrate her big jump into public schooling and she dawned her graduation cap during dinner like she was royalty. A few pix of the event and her admired teachers....
Her Favorite - Ms. Jen - she will hopefully come babysit for the kids this summer!
Ms. Stephanie - who she adores and tells me that she looks like the girl on the cover of my US magazine (Angelina - ha!)
