Farewell Elementary School

Middle school is a fairly new concept to our province. Just a few short years ago elementary school went to grade seven. I'm not sure that this concept is any better but that being said Nathan is just about finished with grade five and is moving onto middle school in September. A very exciting change for him! For now we are sticking with the traditional school system and so he'll be at ATMS. Most of his friends are going there too so he'll be in fine company.

Here are a few shots from his graduation evening last week.

All dressed in his uniform and ready to go. Next year's uniform is quite similar so that's handy.
The gym was nicely decoarated for the event.

Each 'graduate' received a cookie with their photo....very cool!

In spite of a bit of poor organisation and a late start, we were very impressed with the school spirit. Congratulations Nathan, on another milestone in your life.

Congratulations Nathan! You sure are a well rounded student. Good grades, good at sports and good at acting. (And you're pretty darn cute too :) You should be very proud of yourself!
