Amy's Elementary Graduation

There are so many good things that happen in life.  This blog has helped me remember just a few of them.  I'd like to be better at recording more of life's happenings, but I'll be grateful for the ones that do.  Today was Amy's graduation from elementary school.  That's a big deal!  She's such a kind-hearted person.  I'm so glad I get to know her.  She's an important part of our family.

Not only did she graduate, but she was chosen to speak at the graduation.  She was nervous and spoke to quietly but had done a very nice job writing her talk (I got to read it afterwards).  Here's the first page.

Mr. Davies, the principal, speaking to the students, congratulating them on what they've done and encouraging them to continue doing great things.  I've been able to talk with him several times while volunteering and also organizing the shoe drive last year.  I appreciate how much of an impact an administrator can have on his/her faculty.  Her teacher was ********.  I think she also had her in 2nd grade.  She did a great job preparing the kids for Jr. High.
 

The graduates.


It's official!  She's done with elementary school.  That makes her sound older.  Hmm.  Her best friend summer came over to the house several times.  Cute girls!
  

Proud of our Amy!

Summer and Amy.

My favorite picture of the day.  I tried to sneak over to get a picture of her as she was preparing to go up front and she glanced over at me.  At times like these I always wonder what the future will hold.  What will this young lady do?  Who will she become?  Where will she go?  She has so much to offer the world.  I'm looking forward to observing her grow.  Congratulations, Amy Elizabeth.  We love you so!
