HHS Baccalaureate
HHS held baccalaureate on June 3rd at the Holy Spirit (Heiliggeist Kirche) Church in Heidelberg. Ellen accompanied the madrigal vocal group who performed at the service.
I went to the service. Jeff and the boys walked to the church with me - we stopped for some coffee and cake.
It was a lovely service and the setting was unbeatable! Ellen was thrilled to be able to play piano in a venue like this!
Ellen made some very good friends this year! Graduation was the following Sunday. Ellen played her French horn for graduation. She came home with tears - she will miss her friends and she said the graduation ceremony was unbelievable. Each senior read a 30-word maximum dedication, there were fireworks, etc. etc. I'm glad she got to experience it as a junior at least.
After the service the graduates, their families and friends came out into the Hauptstrasse/Marktplatz area for cake and punch. They were serenaded by a bagpipe group in traditional Scottish garb.
