PKO Graduates!

You might recall reading about PKO here. Or my photo-filled walk to her Senior Dessert.  But today she graduates!

Small school graduations.  So very different from big school graduations.IMG_5455

Here are the members of the Class of ’16.  They each got to pick the color of their graduation gown. (Which was very hard for me; the uniformity of graduation gowns and mortarboards is the only reason to wear them.  This just looks messy.)IMG_5457

PKO listening to her teacher’s speech about her.  It was a great speech, filled with all sorts of fun PKO facts.IMG_5466

The degrees have been conferred and the tassels have been switched.  She has two tassels because she was the recipient of an achievement award.IMG_5482

After the teachers made speeches about the students and the students said their thank yous, the staff sang a song to the students.  In keeping with the theme of the teachers’ speeches, the song’s main sentiment was, “Yep, you’re done.  Time to leave now.  Door’s that way.”  This theme was initially off-putting, and then quickly became tremendously fun.  It was like a gentle student roast by teachers who knew the students very, very well.IMG_5486

  1. PKO is such a cutie! Congrats to hear!

    A graduation that was fun? I can’t say I’ve ever heard of that before.

    In the group gown photo, that poor boy in green looks absolutely miserable (and potentially naked under his gown lol). I like how the boy in the red gown color coordinated his shoes.

    1. It was a good time. And interesting, hearing about all the students in such detail.

      Shorts under graduation robes should not be allowed. But yes to coordinating shoes. 🙂
