The Owls Leave the Nest

Burris Graduation 2011

As Class President, Kate lead the

 procession into graduation.

We listened to Kate's speech,

"We are Family," and her parents wept.

The turning of the tassels.

Along with the joy is the sadness

of saying good bye to all of these kids

that were part of our family for

Harry Potter parties and birthdays

or just to hang out.  We have watched

them grow into mature men and women

and wish them well in their next step in life.

Our friend Charles from France,

he got to wear an American cap &

 gown, they don't do that in France.

Congratulations Graduates!
