One of my favorite LHS traditions is Candlelight. It is held the night before graduation. Some of the kids have written essays about their favorite teachers throughout their school years. They choose one from elementary, middle school and high school. Three teachers are chosen and those three students read their essay and then the teacher comes up for his or her honor basket. Then they have the choir sing and a guest speaker share a few words. (Hope I explained that well enough!) The graduates are dressed in their cap and gown and they all move outside where they light each others candles and walk around the campus to hear some mini talks on memories from the past year. It is pretty cool to see them all with their candles.
Emily has been blessed with some pretty sweet friends.
As we were getting ready to leave we realized that not only was
our baby graduating, but all SIX of our kiddos are LHS Grads!
We needed a photo by the L
(And NO MORE PHONE CALLS FROM THE SCHOOL!)
and then Mark whisked me away to Charlie's for a celebration treat…
Hot Fudge Almond Malt for him and a Lemon Custard Cone for me!
I still can't believe our nest will be empty in a few more days!
