The graduation ceremony was wonderful. I was impressed! there were over 100 students in the 8th grade graduating class this year, which is the most Valley Oaks has ever had!
The ceremony took place at the Fox Theater on Thursday, June 3rd. Dylan looked as handsome as I'd ever seen him. He brought a tear to my eye! But the tears really started rolling when the students each had to find their Mother in the audience and present them with a rose and a Thank You card in appreciation of the hard work they had put in to get the students to where they are today. I had to put on my sunglasses to hide the teary eyes, and it was dark inside, so I'm sure I looked goofy. What a big cry baby I am!!! (I get that from my Dad....we're an emotional bunch.)
After the ceremony we had a great dinner in Dylan's honor at Sorella's. It was a great night! I'm so proud of Dylan. What a milestone for him! Now he's headed to High School at Bakersfield Christian High School, starting with summer school & football preconditioning. Lots of new and exciting things in Dylan's future! Congratulations Dylan!!
