Seth's HS Graduation!

Being able to say that you have gone to 3 different high schools is a bit rare. Seth can say it! Seth's start to high school was in was in Regina at Sheldon Williams but was only there for about 2 1/2 months before we moved to Lethbridge. He then finished his grade 9 year at LCI and completed his grade 10 there also. But then, Lethbridge built a new high school not far from our house so guess what? He changed schools again and went to grades 11 and 12 at Chinook. His class was the second graduating class. Kind of exciting. Seth was a little bit disappointed though because unlike his 3 older siblings, both the Banquet and Graduation ceremonies were in the Chinook HS gym.


The Banquet was held a month before the actual graduation. Not quite sure why they couldn't combine both events but it was fun attending both. It kind of made for a longer celebration. Seth was dashing in his new suit!

Here are Seth's clothes all layed out and ready to be worn at graduation. His cap, gown, stole and new white shirt. Funny, but he gets to keep the gown but has to return the gold stole. Wierd don't ya think? Sean, Kelly and Caleb all had to return thier gowns. What is Seth going to do with a HS graduation gown? Halloween I suppose.



Sure wish that guy with the red cap wasn't in the first 2 pictures! That's okay though we were able to see Seth just fine.

It was actually really nice that the graduation was in the gym. The class wasn't all that big because it's a new school so there was plenty of seating. The bleachers are kind of like little chair seats so they weren't too uncomfortable to sit on. By the way... the school mascot is a coyote.

Almost Seth's turn for the big moment. He had a pretty big smile on his face! We weren't able to get the official diploma hand shaking picture. We opted instead to get a video of the moment but will get an official picture from the school. For a price of course!

Mother and son!

The "I did it and I'm proud" shot!

What is a HS graduation if you can't hang your tassle on the rear view mirror anyway?

Congratulations Seth! Now on to bigger and better things! Seth will be attending the University of Lethbridge in the Fall.

Nice post Lou Lou. My kids kept their gowns too and had to hand back the specialty shawl/stole things too. Oh, and Clark and Brad both graduated from BYU in the auditorium so I think your three older kids were an exception. Might as well graduate in the place you graduated from is what I say.
Nice pics of Seth FOR SURE. I like red ball caps :)
