Tis the season for graduation. Lizzy started them off with seminary graduation; I didn't get any pictures, unfortunately, since I had some sort of fit. I nearly passed out, so we left before pictures were taken. Lizzy didn't really enjoy seminary this year. Her teacher was not an educator, so his style didn't work with everyone.
The next graduation was for her animation program through the Career Innovation Center.
Mr Enlow was her teacher for the last two years; he is really cool. He has a huge wardrobe of geeky clothes, so I was surprised at the plain black suit. Upon closer inspection, I was pleased to find Darth Vader heads all over the suit. I mentioned it, and he replied that I was the fifth person to tell him that!
Her High School graduation was on Sunday at the T-Mobile Center. We had never been there before, so I didn't know what to expect. Amazingly, my parents were able to come down for it. My Dad had prepared a really wonderful graduation gift for her. He polished up his state wrestling medal and put it on a chain for her.
She was so excited to wear it and hasn't taken it off since! It was such a thoughtful gift. Any time anyone asks her about wrestling, she always tells them about her Papa's wrestling career too, so I love that she has this piece of history as wearable art.
Lizzy texted us that she was going to be on the right side. Inside the center, we went to the right of the stage, which meant we had to walk all the way around the center. I felt bad for Dad; he's still healing from his knee replacement, but he's a trooper. They had the Jazz band playing prelude and the graduates' names scrolling by. It was nice. The seats were padded; I wasn't sure, so I had brought some pads, but we didn't need them.
The Choir led the audience in the school song. I had never heard it before.
Here's the video of them tossing their caps. It's such a fun moment.
Congratulations, Lizzy, we are so so proud of you!
