The Graduate

Timothy is officially a middle schooler!!

5th grade graduation ceremonies were held on Wednesday afternoon at Edgewood.
Timothy had many proud (teary eyed) guests!

We enjoyed some drum music, then the ceremony began.

My smart, well-rounded son was recognized for several honors - Edgewood Ambassador, Safety Patrol, Perfect Attendance, Academic Honor Roll, & Presidential Academic Award.

Our principal, Mrs. Simpson, gave each 5th grader a medal & shook his/her hand.
(Taylor yelled out "You Da Man!" as Timothy got his medal.  Everyone cracked up.  Typical Taylor.)

The program ended with a sweet 5th grade video.

5th Grade Teachers :)

Taylor became VERY emotional at the end of the ceremony.  He will definitely miss having his brother at the same school next year.

We are all so proud of Timbo!!

We continued to celebrate with lunch at Red Lobster. 
Timothy opened his cards & checked out his surprises. . . which were quite numerous...
(I don't remember getting money & gifts when I finished 5th grade!)

Timothy we are so proud of you & your accomplishments!!!
We know you will continue to do great & wonderful things!!
