Bailey graduated from elementary school today! Grammie, Granddad, Baba and Pop all came to the ceremony. Before they announce each child by name, they make a presentation of special awards for excellence in different areas. Bailey was proud to be the first recipient of the Emily Easter Math Award. This was extra special to us because Ms. Easter and Mrs. Whitlock were Bailey's teachers for 2 years in K/1, and she had a very special bond with them. Ms. Easter is retiring this year, and in her honor, they created this award for excellence in Math. They will put a plaque in the school lobby, and Bailey's name will be the first one on it.
The graduates are given a choice of leaving after the ceremony or staying to hang out until school ends. We offered to take Bailey out to lunch as a special treat with just her parents and/or grandparents, but she had better plans. One of her classmates invited a few of them over to his house for water guns and ice cream. We tried not to let it hurt our feelings.
