6th Grade Graduation

Olive had her 6th grade graduation ceremony last week.  It took some serious scheduling to be there because it was my last day of school and a busy time for all of us.  Thankfully, we made it happen and Kevin and I were there to support our favorite girl.

It's hard to believe Olive is headed to juior high!  I only cried once during the ceremony :)  It was sweet to see her cute friends graduating, too.

I loved seeing the little kid + 6th grader picture slide show for each class.

Olive worked SO hard this year!

She earned a distinguished medal for earning straight As all year.

She took honors classes and still managed to keep her grades high.

She was on the Mathletes team and earned 2nd place in their division.

She worked in the preschool and was a 4th grade tutor.

She was nominated to be on the school Kindness Crew.

And she volunteered to do several Canva projects for her teachers.

Her teachers have always had the nicest things to say about her and this year was no different.

Olive is a super student!

She found one of her buddies.

Favorite teacher photo op.

Graduation nails.

Her homeroom teacher. 

Throwback to her 4th grade teachers.  We weren't allowed in the buildling much that year so I was thankful they took end of the year selfies with their students.

Her #1 favorite teacher of all time.  I could go on and on about this wonderful lady, but simply she inspired Olive to work hard, challenge herself and always believed in Olive.  5th grade was amazing because of her and her dedication to her students.

I planned a simple and sweet graduation dinner for Olive at home.  She didn't want anything big - her favorite meal with a few graduation surprises.

The graduation Squishmallow yeti was a hit!

She's so excited for the next chapter - junior high!
