Well, I just can't believe it, but I am officially the mother of a High Schooler! WHERE on earth has the time gone? I was always told HOW fast time flies (And I BELIEVED them!) but nobody prepared me just HOW fast!
Michael just graduated from a fabulous school and is heading to another fabulous school. We are so blessed to have such amazing teachers, principals and parents surrounding us.
Billinghurst is "Home to Academic Teaming" where the kids are randomly grouped with kids for the two years they are there. Their science, social studies and English teachers head each of the four teams. They do everything with these 90-100 kids. Baseball games together, other field trips, weekly team building exercises as well as sitting together at pep ralleys etc. Kids you wouldn't necessarily have hung out with before become some of your best friends in the process.
We started out the night with cake, conversation and an amazing video with pictures from the last two years with Michael's team, "EPIC", then off to awards and graduation.
Great friends!
These two have known each other since babies! (In Susanville!)
Handsome young man and proud mom!
