Page is officially a first-grader, after graduating from Kindergarten on Thursday.
She doesn’t really want to be. She was a bit sad after the ceremony. She had a great time in her first year at school. She will miss her new friends over the Summer. And she will miss her teacher, Mrs Valouch.
We got front-row seats at the graduation ceremony with Grandma and Grandpa, and watched with pride as Page received her certificate from Mrs Honda, Mrs Valouch, and the other Kindy teacher, Mrs Kovac.
The walk of determination!
Boy, do I recognize that face.
It is the same look of determination on the little 3 year old in a soccer club who turned out to be the only girl who scored a goal, and the little 6 year old who took blue ribbons on her first horse show and whose teacher came up to me and said, “Who is this person?”
