They do a nice little graduation ceremony at Childs Elementary. The Principal Mr. Petzak spoke to the graduates about what it will be like and what they need to do to succeed next year. Jeremy Keeney, a 2006 graduate of Lincoln High School who is currently the Vice-President of the Lincoln Board of Education spoke next. His talk was appropriate for the audience. It was short, but full of inspiration. Then it was time for Mrs. Hill and Mr. Hotchkiss to call up the graduates one at a time to receive their certificates and a slew of handshakes and hugs from those on stage. Finally there was a great slide show of pictures from the school year.

It was a very nice ceremony. I still cannot believe he’s out of elementary school. He’s done so well that Linda and I are very proud of him.
