Bruce finished high school with fanfare. You know, the usual: Pomp & Circumstance!
His graduation ceremony, celebrating over 350 kids, was held at the UW arena on Tuesday June 16, 2015. Bruce wore medals and cords in recognition of his early IB diploma (white ribbon), his high grades, and his AP testing achievements.
Bruce’s friend since preschool, Raphael, was chosen as speaker by popular vote! No valedictorians for this school, and we were better off for it.
After the ceremony, the seniors headed out on an elaborately planned all-night party to top-secret locations, which turned out to be an indoor beach in a warehouse by the airport, complete with volleyball, a hypnotist, and foodtrucks, then an after-hours takeover of a local pool hall, including options for blackjack and bowling.
The bus convoy made it back to the school at 5:30 in the morning (!) and he finally got to catch up on sleep. Summer and new adventures await!
