Again, like baccalaureate the night before,  everyone’s photos were on a slideshow, but we were only interested in one. 🙂

The students entered the auditorium from two back doors – with cameras on them. The students were very aware of the cameras and often hugged, high-fived, jumped, or did some other unique activity. The split screen was displayed on the stage. The guy on the left screen is our grand-nephew Travis.

Jana is on the far right.
