 Happy, happy, happy!

 The heat was a factor again.

Sara gave her this pretty lei.  Jim is just glad he doesn't need to wear a tie for two whole days.

Tennyson and "goofy" Tyrell.  They were in a lot of plays together.

The Dance and the Speech!

Good-bye San Rafael Jr. HIgh!



The program started with an introduction of the students and then a dance.

I took this picture because Banner was dancing with her cousin Spencer.

She danced with others but I put these up because they are my favorites.

They danced very well together.

Banner gave a speech on the importance of education.  And I must say she did very well.

Three students were given the 4.0 award,  Banner was one of them.  Mr. Johnson congratulated all of us.

We had to stand up in front of everyone and look composed.  I think I was having a hot flash because I was not comfortable.

The ninth grade chorus students sang a nice song.

Banner and her best friend Ashley.

Kylie, Kelsie and Banner have been together since nursery days.

Banner at the County Track Meet!

She won her leg of the 4 X 200 relay and also her leg of the "Shuffle"  better known as the Shuttle relay.

U of U Grad!

And so it begins.

Instead of "Where's Waldo" we have "Where's Whitney".  Can you find her?

Cute shoes!  Too bad they gave her a blister.

The commencement speaker Mitch Albom, who wrote "Tuesdays with Morrie".  He gave such a wonderful message, we thoroughly enjoyed his talk.

All smiles.

Three Fauverettes smile!

At the block U with different shoes.

Sara gave Whitney this beautiful lei.  Is that spelled right?

With proud Papa and diploma in hand.

Proud Mama too.

7,400 students graduated from the U this spring.  1,090 were in the School of Humanities with Whitney.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Fauver for coming to the commencement and the convocation and to everyone that celebrated with us at dinner and the brunch at Sara's.  It was a wonderful weekend for our family.
