Today was the day. Parents voted in May to try to do a "real" graduation ceremony in early August (I voted for a virtual ceremony ASAP). The school announced its plans then switched to a virtual graduation ceremony. So many unhappy parents on the Facebook page. L said the parents need to get over it. I wasn't even sure L wanted to watch the ceremony. The school sent out the graduation programs which we received yesterday.
Before the ceremony, a couple of L's friends dropped off graduation presents for her.
Her friend, A, got her this cute Disney bracelet with personalized charms on it.
We did end up watching the ceremony - until we saw L's picture. (If you watch it on YouTube she's at 1:01.23). We were asked to submit a picture in the cap and gown. Lots of people didn't so the school just used their yearbook photos. It was nice to hear all the kids' names without the cheers from those parents who just can't keep quiet. And we weren't sitting outside in the football stadium. I'd say that's two pluses for a virtual ceremony.
L was cheering on her friends!
