Very veryyyy opposite from Harper's preschool graduation on our front porch in May 2020 during the "laxed lock-down phase" of COVID, Scarlett and her preschool classmates got to experience the full shebang! Luckily for the mommas, there was graduation practice/dress rehearsal that morning; hearing a run through of all of the songs allowed us to get [almost] all of our tears out during practice so as not to embarrass ourselves with the dreaded ugly cry during the evening program! [Thanks, Mr. Hentz, for bringing the box of tissues to our rescue!]
At 6:00pm sharp, the spring program and graduation ceremony began! The 4-year-old preschool class sang a few songs [link here!] before pausing to change into their caps and gowns...
...and then marched into [a very emotional] Pomp and Circumstance to present themselves as the St. Boniface Preschool Class of 2023! *heart-eye emojis*
When Scarlett was awarded her diploma, her teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up, to which she immediately replied, "A NURSE!" The crowd roared and cheered as her momma teared up only a tiny bit! ;) :)
Congratulations, Scarlett!!! We are proud of you!
Thank you SO MUCH to the best preschool teachers in the world! Mrs. Burns and Ms. Emily: you made this year absolutely incredible. We were in awe of the ways that Scarlett grew and blossomed this year!
When we got home from the graduation ceremony, Scarlett sat us all down on the couch to show us her gifts from Mrs. Burns and Ms. Emily, which included this adorable memory book:
What a wonderful year it's been! Just as one of their songs during the program said, they're "movin' UP! ...to kindergarrrrr-ten!" It's hard to believe that it's already time for this amazing group of Little Jays to fly the nest!
Congratulations, class of 2023!!! YOU DID IT!
