another little 'graduate'

Sidney had a "moving up ceremony" honoring completion of Kindergarten today. Very cute ceremony. Her teacher did an excellent job - it was actually fun to sit through, and very unique! She did a "most likely to..." section where she awarded each kid with her prediction. Among them were predictions like "college professor," "researcher," "professional athlete," etc. Sidney got a choice - her teacher's prediction: most likely to be an "artist or drama queen." Funny, she's sorta already both!

Here are a few photos!







Sidney's great teacher, Ms. Powell, explaining to the audience why she chose "artist" as Sid's profession.





The class sang the cutest version of "New York, New York." The words were something like this: "start spreading the news, we're leaving today, we want to be a part of it, FIRST GRADE, FIRST GRADE...." So adorable. Ms. Powell did an awesome job on the ceremony. You could tell the kids loved it.





This is Sid with her friend Caitlin, who was awarded the kindergarten valedictorian award - she's a super smartie. We are very proud of her. What a nice friend she's been all year to hang out with Sidney and sorta take her under her wing when Sidney has rough spots - Sid's so lucky to have her.
