Our baby girl graduated from kindergarten today!
I can’t believe she’ll be in 1st grade come fall. Ava is so excited to go to school all day. She has been looking forward to bringing her lunch to school ever since we read “Strawberry Shortcake Goes to School” three years ago!
The ceremony was short & sweet. Her teacher, Mrs. Traina, read a little poem for the kids & then their names were called individually. Each child got to take the walk across the gymnasium floor, receive their certificate as they shook their teacher’s hand & then get a big hug from the teacher’s aide.
Both of Ava’s grandmas made the trip down to see her graduate. Ava’s cousin, Jaidyn, also came for the big day.
Congratulations Ava! We’re so proud of you!!
Here are some pictures from her special day…
