• WMS 8th Grade Promotion

  Today, Veronica and 331 classmates passed the 8th Grade and becomes a High School student.
  
  Here she is looking very nice in her promotion dress. Typical of Seattle weather, we enjoyed 72 degrees, blue skies and calm winds. Parents and friends sat on the grassy ball field while the school put on a beautiful ceremony. Several special awards went out to the students.

  
  Veronica received the prestigious President's Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence. She also was one of seven students to receive the Wildcat Award for participation in music, sports, and maintaining a high GPA.

  As the ceremony commenced, Emma got to sing the National Anthem.
  
  Emma practiced all month and did a terrific job. I videoed the whole song for her parents.

  
  Veronica's name is read and she proceeds across the stage...Not without a smile.

  
  Just for the record, Veronica has been promoted.
