Graduation II
8th grade graduation was a more dignified affair. Considering the 8th grade teacher comes from a military background I kept waiting for the 21 gun salute. The three valedictorians gave their graduation speech together. It was a great display of teamwork. It was my first time to see an 8th grade graduation where the graduates wore caps and gowns.
I was most impressed with the chosen speaker who was witty, articulate, to the point and kept her remarks to five minutes. Good thing we don’t let women preach, I would be out of a job!

I can relate to “Middle School Graduation.” We’ll make sure we steer Joyce Meyer away from Central.
I remember when Josh “graduated” (complete with cap / gown and ceremony) from 7th grade to 8th. I was surprised that such attention was given to something we simply called “promotion.” To this day, that 7th grade diploma has done absolutely nothing to help Josh in life except to move him on to 8th grade.
Now, Randy, I found you to be quiet witty!
I’ve never been to an 8th grade graduation. Sounds fun. Congrats to the graduate.
