Actual Graduation Day

Class of 2009!

Wednesday was the actual graduation day for Ted's 8th grade students.  This graduation was better than my 12th grade graduation!  They sang songs and had presentations.  It was great! 

 The first song they sang was "Stand Up For Love."  As the chorus sang about standing up for what you believe in, one by one the students stood up in a random order.  It is hard to explain, but was so moving then towards the end all the rest of the students stood up.  SO COOL!

Starting by saying the pledge.

Try to see it, this is when they all started to stand up, really an emotional minute for me and most the audience.

The parents/friends/everyone watching and supporting (a rowdy crowd).

All the diplomas given out they did it!

Ted with his excited students!

This student's mom gave Ted a thank you card thanking him for his support for her education, very thoughtful.

They had to have one out of the graduation garb.  So cute, matching dresses in different colors.
