The Graduation

Cody's graduation was held at the Moapa Valley High School outside on the football field.  In the past graduation was held in the gym but with the valley getting bigger and the graduating class getting bigger it was getting harder and harder to accomodate everyone.  The last few years there have only been  6 tickets given to each graduate for family to attend because of limited space but this year they gave out 10 per graduate for early seating and then they opened the gates at 7:45 for anyone else who wanted to come in.  It took a long time for the kids to walk out to Pomp and Circumstance because they  had them walk and stop and walk and stop. The graduating class had 5 valedictorians who each spoke and then the principal spoke as well as a lady from the district.  After the graduation ceremony lots of pictures were taken on the football field.
