Graduation Day

At the Bob Carpenter Center on the University of Delaware campus, Grace participated in what we hope to be the first of two graduations on the UDel campus. The first was today when she graduated with the Garnet Valley High School class of 2022. Hopefully the next will be the UDel graduating class of 2026...but I am getting a little ahead of myself.

Walking in on GVHS livestream

The ceremony took about an hour and a half, maybe a little more.

Shaking some hands

There was chorus and band music, marching in, and some opening remarks.

Diploma in hand

There was about 45 minutes of reading ~385 names and watching kids walk across the stage to get their diplomas and shake hands with faculty and administration.

With Aidan

There was another 20 minutes or so of student speeches and closing remarks.

Towering over proud big sister Julia

Then a whole lot of picture taking in the hot sun outside the Bob.

And as quickly as that it was over...
