Julia's Preschool Graduation

Julia graduated from preschool at the end of June. We had a really nice, fun little ceremony that the families of our graduating students were able to attend. It was an emotional event for me, especially since I not only am one of the pre-K teachers involved in the ceremony, but also having my own little girl graduate. It was a great afternoon.
