May 30th was a very busy day. First we attended the sectional track meet in Marathon. Andrew didn't have a great day jumping, but he did well enough to qualify for STATE!!!!!! He's been working for that goal for the last couple of years and finally made it. I'm a proud mom and coach. After Alyssa was done running her mile, we packed up the athletes who were finished competing and I brought them back to Bowler and Gresham. We arrived at school in Gresham just as the National Anthem was being played. By the time we were inside, the welcome was already in progress.
Andrew got to make his entrance late as he wished. He didn't want to do that silly march down the center aisle. Erin did the same thing. He jumped up on the back platform and put on his cap and gown. He had his track uniform on under his shorts and T-shirt. He was also wearing socks and his mandles. Brenda said only he and Austin could wear them if they were coming late from the track meet.
A group of students were called up on stage to receive scholarships.
Andrew received the Hoffman Transit scholarship as well as the Gresham Scholarship Committee scholarship. He got the two he applied for.
Receiving his diploma.
Turning the tassel to make it official.
Walking out with Haley and Tracy.
A big hug from Mr. Sean Anday. He was Andrew's resource teacher who helped him whenever he needed assistance. Thank you Mr. Anday.
A big hug from his neighbor and bishop.

Don't you love the bowtie? That was the attempt to "dress up."

Such a busy day for us. I'm so proud of my son!
