Graduation Pre-Season

Falling way behind on the blogging front, probably because we've been running all over creation with awards nights, graduations, and parties to wrap up the school years. We've got a ton of photos to share in the coming days, so we'll start off with the awards and last week of school activities to wrap up Heather's time at St. Margaret's School.

For starters, at the sports awards night, Heather was all smiles after her cross country MVP award. And this from a girl who claims she doesn't like to run! She and her classmates were all smiles with their hardware in towA couple of nights later, it was time for academic achievements.

Here's the obligatory family shot in Nangle Hall for Scholastic Awards night. Heather captured two scholastic awards for the night - Honors, and School Spirit and Service Award!The night was a cap and gown affair, so we got to get lots of shots of the beaming graduates in advance of the actual pomp and circumstance event.

They were known as the Locke Six, and here they are with the proud teacher himselfHeather and MichaelAnd finally, the event that's apparently a new tradition among the SMS graduating classes - the shaving cream fight on the last day of school. Everyone claimed victory. Clearly, everyone had a blast.

A great finish to a great SMS education! Terrific job, Heather! Next up: graduation night!
