Thursday Avynlea and some of her classmates got to do a Graduation walk through at Chaparral Elementary School. I loved this when Kenedy was able to do it, Ryker wasn't able to because of covid so it was really exciting that Avynlea got to do this. Rylee went with me and while we were waiting in the hall as the elementary kids were lining up they were a little unruly, not bad but it was a little chaotic. The music teacher ws out here and he started singing "take me out to the ballgame" with the kids all quickly joining in. It was clearly a song they sung a lot in music class and during the "root, root, root" part they said "for the Cougars" their school mascot rather than "the home team" which was super cute. Being back in the Avynlea's elementary school with her so close to graduating High School made me emotional and I got a little teary listening to the kids sing.
The graduates finally came through and it was fun and emotional to watch Avynlea walking through the halls of her elementary school in her cap and gown.
tOnce they had their walk though the little kids all went back to class and the graduates were able to go visit their old classrooms and teachers. Paige wanted to hurry to the elementary school where her Mom works so she could see her in her clans gown so we took a picture of Avy and her friends since elementary school in front of the cougar mascot.

The girls got to see Mr Ceniga their fifth grade teacher as wells Miss Allen who was a Student Teacher in their class and is now teaching at Chaparral.
We were hoping to be able to see Mrs Pitchford Avynlea's 2nd grade teacher and one of our favorites but she was out that day. She still has the name sign that Avynlea gifted her back in 2013 and that was super fun to see.
