Movin' On Up

On June 11, G's intermediate school had a "promotion ceremony" for 8th graders. I attended mainly so that G could bug out as soon as it was over. I was surprised at the number of people who attended -- you'd have thought it was a graduation with the large family groups that were there! The "inspirational" speeches from the district superintendent and the principal were interesting (the former used that email about the guy who pulled the thorn out of the elephant's foot as her thesis; the latter likened the class to George Custer -- but in a good way ... ?). High school awaits in the fall for G!
