Graduation

My son graduated from his elementary school today. Nine years ago he started his journey in kindergarten; it's been a long haul. I was all sentimental.

It was a beautiful ceremony, and there was a lovely party for the graduates afterward. Diego was honored with the Father Leahy Award for the 2025 class; it is given in recognition for the student that best demonstrates the traits of leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship while participating in school sports, while also maintaining a high level of academic standing and commitment to the school and church community, as voted by the teachers, administrators, and coaches. 18 seasons of sports he played, during his time at the school.

It's a nice award: he got a plaque. And his name gets etched onto the trophy that records the winners of the award. That's nifty. But now he's on to high school...the journey continues.

It's been a loooong day, and I'm turning in...we have championship track meet to go to in Renton (Diego's in three events; my daughter, Sofia, is in two). New A to Z post scheduled for the morning.

Cheers.
