6th Grade Promotion 6/17/08

The theme this year for the 6th grade Promotion event was "Rockin' Into the Future" and the decorating committee did a fantastic job! The gym was enhanced with a cool rock band silhouette background behind the stage, and there were embellished, personalized record albums around the room like this one for Jordan.
The black and white photo cut-outs of each kid were super fun, they were all doing some type of "jump-dance" and they hand wrote one of their school memories on the labels. Jordan's memory was about being one of the back-up dancers for the principal's performance of a Hannah Montana song during one of this year's assemblies. (That is on You-Tube actually!)
This was Ms. Weber, Jordan's amazing teacher for 6th grade. She was the third 6th grade teacher I've experienced for my kids, none of them repeated teachers for that grade. She was talking briefly about what this class was like, and then each of them came to the mic to thank someone/people for support during the past years. Jordan thanked his parents (awe...) and his teachers.
I used his video camera to record parts of this event, as David was in no shape to attend, and these still shots were taken with that video camera too! not bad.

What a festive theme! Christopher will go through a big celebration after 5th grade next year when he moves up to the middle school for 6th.
