Congratulations, Laila!
With two of her teachers, Ms. Flores on the left and Ms. Bel on the right.
It went pretty well, all things considered. There was a cute dance performance to Tchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers" that Laila sadly did not get to participate in--we saw her just sitting in the audience and weren't sure why she wasn't on stage until we remembered that she had a fall risk and wasn't even allowed to climb stairs herself without someone holding her hand until the end of May, so dancing and spinning on stage is definitely something that the school wouldn't have let her do. She did okay watching the performance until the certificate ceremony started and she noticed us in the audience, then she wanted to come sit by us and started crying on stage.
But she got her certificate and came over to us after. She had a little school bus toy that the bus driver must have given her in the morning.
For a little bit she was shy with her teachers, but she gave them all hugs before we left. Her teachers asked us if she was going to be at the same school the next year and we sadly had to tell them that she wouldn't, since we don't live in the school zone and we'd have to put her into the lottery and try to get her in. They tried to tell us to ask the principle for a special exception, but it's really nice to be able to walk Laila to school and have school be just a few minutes' walk away. And Laila did have a good time at her old school, but I'm glad she had such a good time at her new school for the short time she was there.
Now to Laila's first summer vacation!
Bonus: Two of Laila's classmates, Malachi Faust and Lottie Cornelius, should team up to fight crime.
