The ceremony was modest but touching. It started with some songs with Pastor Sarah and then featured a speech by Margaret, the director of the preschool. Then the graduates lined up to walk across the bridge and receive their diplomas. Then they sang a few more songs and got to celebrate with their families.
Afterwards, the teachers told us a touching story about Peter. One of the girls was too shy to walk across the stage and Peter reached back and held her hand so they could walk across together. They said it was a very nice gesture by Peter. That helped make the girl happier but at the last minute she bailed. In the video at the bottom of this post, you can see them holding hands in the doorway (at about the 3:28 mark).
Peter did great and we're very proud of him! Several of the teachers gave him thoughtful presents to thank him for helping them after school while waiting for Nancy to finish her day.
Congrats Peter!
Ready for the big day. Peter picked out his outfit himself. He said he wanted to wear a bow tie so Nancy found one with sharks on it.
