Jelani Graduates 6th Grade

Hard enough to think that Jelani is going to be 12 years old in just a short month, and is graduating from 6th grade is amazing. Time is flying by! It was fun to go inside his school and see him with his friends and classmates. We have been by the William Sidney Mount (PS174) many times this was my first time inside!









I was very impressed that his class size was so small and the school reminded me much of the high school I attended in Vermont. The parents seemed to all know each other and the ethnic diversity was AWESOME!


Look at that happy guy! He was very proud to be graduating, and looking forward to his next step into 7th. I am not so sure I am happy with the fact that he will be riding the TRAIN to school everyday. Is he REALLY old enough for this???

Jelani with some of his peeps! Sporting their certificate of completion of the 6th grade!









Here he is! It took a major corroborative effort to let his Ninang take photos of him up on the stage afterwards!!

















PS 174 2011 6th Grade Graduate!!!



















The Graduate with his most AWESOME parents Mark and Tina! You guys are raising my Godson into the finest young man!!
















Jelani and his favorite Ninang, ok so he only has one Godmother but I am still his favorite!!



















Last minute Brad was able to swap swifts with a co-worker and was able to go. I thought they only had three tickets but that turned out that they had more. Funny how things just work out and were meant to be.

















The Williams/Austin/GoodHale gang!! One of Jelani's classmates took this for us! Not bad, he may have a future!












Congratulations Jelani, your Ninang and Brad are VERY proud of you and look forward to the many more successes in your future!!
