Elementary School Graduation!

Another major milestone for Simone!  This week she successfully completed fifth grade, and will advance to.... wait for it... MIDDLE SCHOOL in the fall.

Deep breath.  This was almost surreal for me.  I'd swear it was only 5 minutes ago that we brought our little preemie, who would barely open her eyes, home from the hospital.  And now, she's through elementary school.  Wow.  Just wow.  Everyone warns you how quickly they grow, but nothing can prepare you for it.  Simone has both changed/grown so much over these years, and yet her personality, her spirit, her amazing heart stays the same.  We are simply in awe of the little lady she's becoming. There's just no one like her!

On her last day of elementary school.


At the final Fifth Grade Luncheon before the farewell ceremony.

Simone was recognized for being selected for All County Chorus.

Receiving her completion certificate from her teacher and principal.

After the ceremony.  Instead of flowers, we presented Simone her edible arrangement.  She's been asking for years to get one.  LOL.

And a family selfie.

The entire 5th Grade.


Farewell and Congratulations Steuart Weller Elementary-- you survived Simone Dotson!!  Look out middle school!
