I thought I would do an update.
last week I met with a couple of committee members and have some more writing and editing to do on my dissertation. I am on a tight deadline but will get it done.
last night was the junior prom for Lach. There is a little different tradition I will explain.
Junior prom is a community supported rite of passage! The tradition is for ALL the junior to be assigned a partner, based on height, for the promenade (walk) that presents each student. Then ALL the junior perform a choreographed dance (twice- so each side of the gym can see their child). Then there is a parent dance where the junior dances with their parent. Then the community is excused and the REAL dance begins. This is where the kids get to dance with the person they invited. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Here are photos:
There is a wonderful dance... for the spectators pleasure!

When prom is a spectator sport!
The juniors enter through the golden star and are announced (assigned partner) .
They walk around the gym in a very organized and artful pattern.

Then there is a very sweet boy who asked me to share this dance!
