Well, Olivia had the first of her graduations earlier this month -- her Pre-K graduation. While I am VERY proud of her, I had mixed emotions about this graduation. I tried not to make a huge deal out of it but other things/people did. I know others may disagree with me I just feel like kids today have too many graduations (here they have Pre-K, Kindergarten, 5th and 8th grades) and by the time they hit high school it becomes "just another graduation" to them and I want my kids to value their education and know that high school and college graduations are the most important. Anyway, they had a graduation (complete with cap and gown) and a program showcasing some things they learned in school this year -- they did song of the days of the week to the tune of the Adam's Family, Months of the year to the Makarena, the Pledge of Allegiance and a few other things that are escaping me at the moment. 
What a beautiful graduate...but I totally know what you mean...I wish they would do Kindergarten (b/c they are so stinking cute) and then high school only... (they aren't so cute then..ha ha)
ReplyDeleteOMG, she looks so freaking adorable!! Tell her congrats from fellow pre-k grad, Jaden! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Oops! I was logged in as Derek, it's me, Marla!! :)
ReplyDeleteWay cute! Big deal or not, it's great to see these "graduation pictures!" :)
ReplyDeleteOur school district doesn't allow the pre k to use the word graduation. It's a promotion. They feel graduation is something special and left for the high schoolers.
ReplyDeleteShe takes my breath away! Just so precious!
ReplyDeleteRobbie had his Kindergarten "Celebration". They even have tshirts that say that. We have it early in May and I am so thankful because the end of May is already jam packed.
Well, she sure is a cute little graduate! I agree that the graduations are overdone, though. I have no idea what they do around here. Rachel will be in pre-K this fall... I can't even believe she is about to start school!
