David’s school has this wonderful tradition where the 5th graders get to have an induction night. On this night, they are inducted the Graduates of their school. To celebrate together, they invite back 8th and 12th graders who graduated from the same school. So those who are graduating elementary, middle and high are in the same room. They invite each set of classes to come up and share where they go to school now, etc.
It’s this wonderful night where our kids get to see the next few big stages in their life. Where they get to become a member of a wonderful club of kids who graduated from this school. Where they get to share their favorite memories with all these other kids.
I am so grateful for all these wonderful traditions. All these wonderful ways of building and fostering community.
