More Graduation Photos

Here’s some more photos from the pre-school graduation for you.

Here is where the “graduates” make their entrance into the main room.
Entrance

Ridge is walking over to the stage as his name is called, then he receives his certificate. Doesn’t he look serious?

Certificate

The graduates were all in one line on the right of the stage. Ridge is whispering something to his friend Ryuuya.

The younger kids received certificates, too. Here is Holt getting his.
Holt's turn

Holt is sitting next to Wakava, who is Ryuuya’s cousin. She is the same age as Holt, and just as feisty. I’m not sure why Holt has this look on his face, but Wakava looks angelic.

The graduates line up in front to listen to a message memorized and recited by the kids one “grade” lower than them. They then recited their own message, and bowed when finished.
Message 1
Message 2
Message 3

All graduates are lined up here, singing the “Sayonara” song.

Here we are preparing to pose for our group picture. I’m standing next to Ryuuya’s mother, and I think I’m nearly a whole head taller than her!
