Last night Kelly took part in her 8th grade buddy’s graduation ceremony. This mostly involved walking with them up to the front of the stage.

This afternoon Kelly’s class had a small moving up ceremony where they showed a self portrait they’d drawn at the beginning of the year and then at the end. Then the kids walked (or bounced on their knees) up to the teachers to get their certificates.

We started things off with some cupcake decorating:

Between the tea party and the cupcakes the girls self-organized their own band out of the deck:

Here’s Kelly at her school Chinese New Years presentation. She’s the one speaking with the rabbit ears. Her line was “Rabbits are Gracious, kind and soft-spoken.” There was several hundred kids and parents in the crowd.
