8th Grade Graduation!


"May the road rise up to meet you;
May the wind always be at your back,
The sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand."


Every year the 8th grade moving up ceremony concluds with the students whisper singing an Irish Blessing and then the school Alma Mater. They usually take stage on the lawn in front of the old brick school building. Unfortunately this year it rained and we moved into the ice rink which was decorated with school colors and shrubs.

Boys had to wear navy blazers,khakis and dress shoes while girls were instructed to wear white dresses.

I picked out a flowy white Joie dress from Bloomingdales. It may not have been the sparkliest or most glamorous but the moment I saw it I knew it would be one of those perfect dresses that can work at parties but also dancing in the rain.

These adorable, spastic bunnies were born in our courtyard. It's so strange, they're just these tiny blobs of fur with a heavily beating heart.


I cannot believe I am done with 8th grade

I cannot believe that it's summer break.
