Last Week of Kindergarten, Part 2: Graduation

How can Lincoln be graduating from Kindergarten???  Wasn't it just yesterday that he had his first day???  He was so proud to walk in . . . look at that smile!  The kids all wore a matching shirt (with their names all listed on the back) and cap.  The cafeteria was full of picture-taking proud parents and grandparents!
Mrs. Bailey's class was first, and she took a moment with each child to savor this special time.  The kids LOVE her, and she is such a special teacher.  Lincoln kind of skipped over to her because he was so excited!  Principal Low was next to shake his hand and congratulate him on a great Kindergarten year. 
The kids sang a fun song or two, and Lincoln was right behind his best buddy, Nick.  They were really into it!  (Nick's mom, Kate, said they may need to be in Glee Club in between baseball and soccer practice!!)   
The kids were sent out in twos holding hands, and it was so sweet that Lincoln and his other best buddy, Canon, walked out together.  They have been the best classmates this year, and we know Mrs. Bailey was lucky to have such a sweet and calm pair of boys.   
Mrs. Bailey presented the kids with their own Kindergarten Completion Certificate, and a personal award as well.  Lincoln was named Brightest Smile!  That is the perfect award for him.  He always (well, come on, no one can always) has the best attitude, happiest smile, and most joy.  He truly has the Brightest Smile of anyone I know! 
Class photo after the awards were handed out.  Such a great group of Kinders! 
Lincoln needed a picture with Mrs. Baily of course.  We took a couple, but Beau was begging to be in the picture too.  Mrs. Bailey has already promised us that she will request Beau when class assignments are made in 2016.  Luckily she already knows that his personality is quite different from Lincoln's so she wasn't surprised when Beau made this face! 
Beau needed to try on Lincoln's cap of course! 
The boys posed with Nana and Pops after the events.  Smiles all around! 
Our little family so proud of Lincoln for a great year!  He truly had the best school year ever! 
Kindergarten Graduation is in the books, and this Mom didn't shed a tear at the ceremony!  (Surprised, right?)  It was such a fun celebration for the kids . . . and the parents who have made it together too!  It can't be said enough, WE LOVE BOWIE!  The last day of school is still to come, so more fun to post.
