The author's tea
The day began with Tony showing off his new shirt
at the bus stop. The kids assembled
with their books and the proud teacher
was ready to go as Benjamin
waited anxiously for the show to begin. Kathy Klockenbrink was out of focus
and in
as Benjamin told us his piece
of how a book is made and then got his certificate of award
from the teacher. Stephanie
got hers next. Then Benjamin told about his book
and Stephanie
about hers. We got a few shots of the class
with their books and then Benjamin
with his certificate and Stephanie
with hers. Emily and Hannah, the little sisters
seemed to be enjoying themselves as Benjamin
showed his book
to Suzanne
for her comments. The same process was happening in the Klockenbrink
compound
as Benjamin and Sebastian
posed for the camera.
After the show, there were the usual refreshments you expect at such an event -- cheese and crackers
donut holes
and gummy worms
which amused Suzanne
as Ben posed with his teacher
and then with the main poster
where his bookworm
was.
Senior awards ceremony
Sarah won
the Society of Women Engineers Award
and then was awarded
the prize
for Latin -- silver medal
and certificate
that was too white
for this camera. Lily
won the prize in Japanese. Noah won the French (or something?) prize,
Joyce won the student-athlete,
Noah won the orchestra prize
and then the proceedings mercifully ended.
