Honors Convocation; Liturgy, Buffet and Program

Yesterday was a BIG day! I worked from 7:45 until 1 pm. We were rushed preparing the sandwiches and taco bar and we opened for lunch at 9:30 AM. We were done SERVING lunch by 11:30. The Graduation Honors Convocation was at 1:20. Home for an hour and a half. Then back to school for the Graduation Liturgy, Buffet and Program...whew! But all in all it was a very MAGICAL and BLESSED day! Edgewood knows how to do up graduation. It's a week of adventure beginning with Las Vegas Night the Saturday before and ending with graduation on Friday Night. By the time the actual graduation ceremony takes place everyone is over all the emotions and just ready to see the graduate receive the diploma!

Here's the day's highlights:

Katie is standing here at the Honor's Convocation to receive accolades for her Senior Service Award in Drama.

Here Katie is receiving her ropes for The National Honor Society. Her grade point average was 3.5 or higher for seven or more semesters!!

Becky is leaving for Rome tomorrow and won't be there for the actual graduation ceremony so we just HAD TO get a picture of the two of them.

Katie sang at the liturgy as part of Show Choir. I thought the lit candle was a nice touch. All the seniors walked in with lit candles and sat together.

Katie played a piano duet with Lizzy Dorn--DUELING PIANOS--just kidding. Actually they played a beautiful rendition of "America the Beautiful."

The Edegtones rounded off the senior talent program with a medley of Walt Disney songs. Katie was Jasmine!

Here Katie is performing her solo. She's AMAZING! I can't wait to see her perform at Viterbo University!

I couldn't resist the standard photo in front of the fireplace after we got home. She looked so darn cute in that Jasmine costume!!
