Defy The Odds - Sky View Class Of 2013

Boy, this year has zipped by in a hurry!  Graduation was yesterday and we had a very lovely day.  Grandma, Grandpa, Ju Ju, and Aunt Michelle joined us for a nice, if a tad long ;) graduation ceremony.  We had dinner here at our house afterward and lots of gifts!  Thanks everyone for being so generous!!  We are proud of this Sky View Superfan!  We know she's ready to take on the next adventure.  Go get 'em, girl!

Valedictorian Steve.

"When You Believe" was really pretty performed by combined choirs and orchestra.

Poor Sierra was left to sit all alone during the choir number.

There she goes to get her diploma!  I love Mr. Reeder's face in the background!

And of course, she walked barefoot.

"Kori McKenna Thompson" Wahoo!!

Moving tassels from left to right.

And singing the school song.  I LOVE that they sway and sing with gusto every time they sing the school song, which is OFTEN!  What other high school sings and sways?  I love it.

"The friendships here we have made all year are treasured more than GOLD!"
