Blue and White. He's graduating. He's been elected class speaker.

No idea about parties. Some big ones are planned by classmates, so he likely will go to those.

We have two college graduations in may - DS1 and fiance. But three ceremonies, because DS1 is graduating from Teachers College, Columbia U. So one day is Teachers commencement and one day is Columbia. And the week before is the fiance's graduation, with DS2s prom that night (Oh I dunno if I'm going I;ll think about it) And wedding shower the day after.

DS2 graduates June 1. Cousins graduate June 4. Cousins are triplets. Then June 29 we have the wedding. And June 30 DS 2 reports to the Coast Guard Academy.

Semper yes, paratus no. My motto this year is Lente Loco.

I'm graduating this year. My school colors are black, yellow and red. I'm graduating from a small school with only 60 graduates.. So we are doing the graduation in a middle school aud... which i think is horrible... But atleast i'm graduating! I'm very excited considering i've worked my Butt off for the past year and a half to catch up on my work... we have to have 21.5 credits to graduate... and The beginning of this year... i only had 12.... I needed 9.5 more credits. Which is 19 classes!!!! omg.. And now it's about 2 weeks away from graduation... and i only need 2 classes!!! I"M EXCITED!!!!!!
As for paries... Our school has a senior party that is that night. from 6pm to 6am.... I doubt i will go because i also have a friends graduation to go to that same night and really want to leave the high school behind. Although my best friend is having a party i might go to that.

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation LosingWeight1990! I graduated last year from a very small grade (17 of us altogether, yep 17) and it was a really nice ceremony. Our colours were navy blue and sky blue. Hope you enjoy yours!
Congratulations to your son too McMama! Sounds like a really busy year for your family... hope its not too loco

I'm posting even though I graduated 10 years ago and my kids are nowhere near graduation but my baby sister graduates on June 6th.

The school's colors are Green and White with a mascot of a Spartan.

I have no idea if she's having a party or not but she'll probably attend friends' parties. DH and I were planning on making the trek back east for the event but other things came up and if we made the trip then his job would be in jeopardy when we returned. Unfortunately that's the downside of a working at an RV plant during a recession and outrageous gasoline prices.
