Hoop Jumping

I know graduation ceremonies are common to recognize the transition between preschool and Kindergarten, but I have always been in the group of parents (the minority, it seems) that feels these types of celebrations are a bit silly.  I was pleased to find that Weston's preschool would be hosting no such tribute.  Other parents, however, felt a ceremonial "jumping through the hoop" would be a lovely symbol of our children's leap to Kindergarten.  Of course, I refrained from making any number of sarcastic remarks and attended the festivities with a smile and lots of clapping!  

At least there were party hats (no graduation caps or gowns) and cupcakes...fun for 5 year-olds!
