The 8th graders had their promotion night “dance” last Friday. Logan did not want to attend initially but we convinced him that he did not want to miss out.  When Friday came along, I went to school in the afternoon to help set up.  My friend Lisa was the lead organizer for this event, and she did a great job.  It was so wonderful seeing what the kids would experience that night.  They had a dance floor with a DJ playing music, arcade games and a photo both at the gym, dining tables set up in the quad with taco bars and a chocolate fountain. Finally they would have a balloon drop to wrap up the evening.

    I went home to get Logan ready and took him there. Many kids arrived all dressed up with beautiful dresses and in suits too.  They all looked so excited to have a great in-person celebration together.  I saw Logan off walking toward a group of friends he knew, then I took off. 

    I went to Theresa’s house after to hang with the girls.  During the whole night, I was looking forward to find out how Logan enjoyed the night.  Finally at 9pm, Stuart shared that Logan texted him to let him know that he would walk home with Cole and he had a GREAT time.  The next day Lisa also texted me a couple of pics and the video of the balloon drop; glad to know that everyone had a good night.
