8th Grade Promotion

The Venice Middle School 8th grade promotion ceremony was held today, and Drew got a chance to take his turn walking across the stage, along with approximately 260 of classmates. Even though this was just a ceremony to mark the end of their middle school career, it was still emotional for Tara, as she still managed to tear up just a bit. Congratulations Drew. Time to buckle down and make the most of these next four years!
