It's hard to believe my 7 years at Highland Park Elementary
are coming to a close.
My class is the last 6th grade class to graduate
from HPE.
How about that?
Tonight,
we had our graduation ceremony
to mark the occasion.
It was complete with our names being read
and walking to accept our certificate
speeches by my classmates
and a poem from my teachers
(where they compared kids to dogs
and teenage to cats--
Mom and Dad thought that was pretty clever)
and a song from our class
(I'm behind the girl with the crossed arms,
she's clearly thrilled to be here)
Top it off with a huge class picture,
and that's a graduation wrap!
Everyone wanted a picture with the graduate
and then,
when we realized we didn't have Jackson's graduation
because of COVID
AND that he was ALSO a graduate this year
(hello, 8th grade??),
the grandparents definitely needed a picture with him too.
Our future's so bright...
we gotta wear shades.
Look out ETMS and LSN!
