We're all
gathered together to watch the Lyman Gilmore Middle School 8th
grade graduation. The DeMartini's, Hewards, McGuire and Dunham
families wait for the event to begin. The graduates line up for
the procession.
Brent.
Makiya and Katie.
Becca.
There are speeches and awards...
The advanced choir sings "
Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor," and the eighth grade choir sings
"We Leave You With A Smile."
Then the Diplomas are
presented (along with a congratulatory handshake) to each
student.
Brent leads off...
....And eventually here's Katie.
...and Becca receives her diploma and
a hug.
Becca, mom and dad are all smiles.
Papa and Grammy get a smile and hug
from Brent.
How about these smiles?! Good enough
for a Pepsodent ad.
Even Timmy and Bradley manage a smile
for
the camera gal.
Following the ceremony the
graduates attend the traditional eighth grade dance. Later, we do
a little cake and ice cream celebration with Katie and Brent
before going home.
Oh come on.....just one
more picture for the road. May your lives be filled with the
wonder of learning, doing and sharing your happiness and
achievements with others.
There is a destiny
that makes us brothers. None goes his way alone. All that we
put into the lives of others, comes back to our own. By
Edwin Markham
