Kindergarten Graduation

This last Saturday represented a great day for Emma and Spencer, a day of serious reflection on the past and an opportunity to gaze ahead to the future. It was a day to celebrate the accomplishments made by these two and by Rachel. That's right, it was Kindergarten Graduation. Graduation was held at the Bayless Baptist Church and the ceremony was conducted by Cathy Mullins. The theme was Kids Under Construction from Philippians 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in ou will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ". The kids sang "Kids Under Construction" and "The Wise Man Built His House". The kids were presented with certificates of accomplishment and graduation from their parents and Cathy read little bios on the kids written mostly by the kids. Afterwards their was a small refreshment. We had a good time the kids were very well behaved as they sat on the stand in front of all the parents. They didn't even play with their tassels on their mortarboards which is something even I did at medical school commencement. We are very proud of the kids as they have embarked on the journey of learning. They are reading, writing and beginning math. I am very proud of Rachel and the hard work she puts into the education of the kids. She is a wonder we are looking forward to first grade and new subjects of study.(Oh and Sara graduated from Nursing school at Barnes Jewish this weekend, too. Good going Sara.) It was extra special because Gramie and Papa could be with us.
