Graduation 2024!!!

 It's official!! Ella is an Atascocita High School graduate!

She started her first day of kindergarten as this adorable girl who is now grown into an adult. 

Graduation day was really hot but the sun was shining! 

She had to come out and sing the national anthem with her choir. 

Receiving her diploma! 

My parents, two sisters, and Chris and his son Coleton came to support Ella on her big day! 

It was so sunny. 

Just missing Corey! 

We are proud of her! 

She finished top 10% of her class out of 846 students! She was in national honor society and received two scholarships! The founders scholarship from SUU and the choir scholarship for the year. She has worked hard and even when most people slack off and get bad senioritis their last year, she ended up with her best grades of all four years! Way to finish it off Ella!

The next night my parents came over again, for like the 5th time that week, to go to Ella's seminary graduation from the church education program. She was dedicated all 4 years to waking up and being at seminary every morning at 5:50 a.m. She is obedient and a great kid, and I am grateful for her dedication. She had to organize the seminary graduation and sing a musical number. 

Her senior year her teachers were Brother Lindsay and Brother Stansel and they were great. 

We were able to have a big open house with the 12 seniors who are in our church ward that she graduated with. It was wonderful and so many people were generous and supported her.

Now she has officially closed that chapter of her life.
