132nd Commencement



4pm at Mishawaka High School. It seems like yesterday that Miss Judy (Trenton's preschool teacher) announced that this would be the high school class of 2009 and I remember thinking, "my gosh, that's so far away!" What happened to the time.
(Love this photo of Trenton...not sure why)
Nice ceremony. I was impressed with a few of the valedictorian's speeches and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the key note speaker was. Mr. Thomas Hutchison III from the class of 1959.

The senior class had their fun...bouncing some beach balls through the spectators and graduating class, spraying silly string and alot of them each carried one penny to hand to Dr. Marzotto (retiring principal) so he would have a ton at the end. You can actually see Trenton hand him his penny (in the video) and Dr. M puts it in his pocket. I guess Dr. Marzotto said to Trenton, "well, I guess I am going to have quite a few of these by the time this is over" and chuckled.

Switching his tassel over...he is graduated!
And throwing their caps at the end.

Took Trenton to his choice for a celebratory dinner (Red Robin) and got some of the tables and chairs set up for the open house tomorrow. Definitely mixed feelings today and yes, I shed some tears over how quickly the time has passed. Congrats son. We love you and are very proud!
