James' last day as a Highline student was June 3rd. The audience for the continuation ceremony was standing room only.
The fifth graders filed in, and the ceremony started with the Pledge of Allegiance.
There were lots...
 |
| Mr. Langdon, Principal of Highline Community School |
of speeches...
 |
| Mr. Gonzales, Principal of Prairie Middle School |
and lots...
 |
| Ms. Allen, Mrs. Park and Ms. Vellinga |
of awards!
 |
| Our neighbor, Cynthia |
Finally, it was time for diplomas.
James looked very proud as he headed down the receiving line.
Now he's a sixth grader!
After the ceremony, we went back to the classroom...
 |
| James and Cesar |
for snacks...
 |
| Isaiah, Cesar and James |
and hugs.
 |
| James and Jozsh |
James posed with all his friends...
 |
| William, Isaiah, Cesar, James and Diana |
and some...
 |
| James and Ms. Alley, his Gifted & Talented teacher |
of his favorite teachers.
 |
| James and Ms. Allen, his 2nd and 5th grade teacher |
And then, after seven good years, our time as a Highline family came to end. Goodbye, little school and thanks for everything!
