Ben's Graduation

Ben's school typically doesn't do a big to-do for 8th grade graduation. They have a quick assembly that parents can come to. No cap and gowns or anything like that. But, each kid does get called and they get their graduation certificate. That obviously didn't happen this year with Covid. But, they had a drive-thru parade and the kids got to say goodbye to the their teachers (from their care) and they got their certificates and shirt for high school.  They also took a photo of each and every kid and posted them on Facebook! 

Ben got his report card and had all 100%, and one 97%. Homeschool work was optional really, So, they could do the work and improve their grade from third quarter or they could do nothing and they'd end up with the same grade as third quarter when all this happened. Of course, Ben diligently did his work every day, and he went from straight A's to um, straight A's.

 

We're super proud of him, and all of our kiddos. This year didn't end how we wanted, but they rolled with it.. To celebrate, we went to Olive Garden! It was our first time eating in at a restaurant in months since everything has been take out only since March. It was so nice.

 

Now, Ben's on to high school, where we know he'll do great things!
