"Graduation"

Thunder "graduated" from pre-school last week. He attended the Coop program at a local high school. This is a pre-school staffed by high school students looking to pursue a career in child development. It's a great program and if you have pre-schoolers I highly recommend checking to see if a similar program is available in your area.

Because the pre-school was part of the high school, they followed the H.S. calendar. When the H.S. had Spirit Week, the pre-schoolers had Spirit Week. When the H.S. had assemblies, the pre-schoolers performed at the assemblies. Then the H.S. had prom, the pre-schoolers had prom. Now that the H.S. is graduating, so are the pre-schoolers.

It's a cute little program where the kids sing several songs to show off the skills they've learned at pre-school. Each child announces where they'll be attending Kindergarten next year. And they all hold up a sign stating what they (currently) want to be when they grow up!

Congratulations, Thunder! We're so proud of you and look forward to your school years.

As you can see, I sat by the pole...
