Emma's Empire Preschool Graduation

Emma's Empire Preschool graduation was on July 15th.  Knowing from past experience, these ceremonies tend to be long at Empire.  It started at 430pm and didn't end until 630pm.  The program was the following:

Skating

Dancing

Music

Songs (Chinese and English with Multiplication tables, spellings, poems)

Finally when we got to the actual cap and gown ceremony, all the parents were worn out.  However, we all perked up when we saw the gold sash, 2016 tassle and the cap and gown.  The graduate could not be cuter and could not be more grown-up.  Emma is such a big girl now!!
