And… that’s a wrap - class of 2023

From the 1st day of school to the last, Billy made the most of every day. Sports, film club, orchestra, choir, dances, class, studying, friends, field trips.. you name it, his answer was always ...sure, why not?!

Billy graduated Magna Cum Laude and played in the orchestra during graduation. His hat said Fab 5 in honor of his friends and he's got a killer senior road trip planned to Yellowstone in July.

He's enjoyed every last minute of being a senior... Billy in the Halls, Senior Sunset, Senior Party, Prom, bowling, bubo tea, anime movies, pizza, soda tasting contests, frisbee, s'mores, bonfires... everything.

Now the hard work starts, prep for college. He's got to take placement tests and finish his online prep requirements before next weeks orientation at the U of M.

We are SO SO SO proud of this young man. Kind, gentle, funny, resilient, adventurous, talented, smart, and present.  

Dad and I love you to the moon and back.  Big things are your future.

Next step for us ... 3 of 3 ... time to change the locks.
