8th grade graduation night-

I've not lived anywhere that completing the 8th grade came with a lavish ceremony, but, apparently, it's a tradition in Mo., or at least, this part of MO. So, last night, we attended an awards/graduation ceremony for about 2 hours. Then, the students had a dance. Today, the last day of school, was spent at the local amusement park with their fellow students.

So, this is Maura, after the ceremony, but on her way to the dance, where the theme was masquerade, thus the mask. We made it the night before, at the last minute because that's when she remembers to tell me she needs these things. (along with stuff for a party and a pink moustache)

For someone who has spent the better part of two years in Gothic Black, this was a welcomed change and a shock to most of the fellow students, not to mention Mom.
