For the past four years, my younger daughter Samy has been in a small, progressive, project based private school called the Montclair Co-op. Yesterday was graduation from this magical, supportive place that enabled her to embrace the exuberant, caring, empathetic, inquisitive person she is.
I was head of the committee to decorate the gym. Every year, the decor committee does something uniquely personal for that graduating class. Inspired by the banners I've created for my home, the committee created a banner for each student...
and each of the upper school teachers, using print outs of symbols representing each one of them, fabric, and, of course, lots of Stencil Girl stencils and Rubbermoon Stamps!
Freddie and I wove twine in a crazy zig zag through the rafters, and suspended the banners with clothespins. All of the students in grades 1 - 7 wrote messages on strips of fabric, which we attached to the banners. Augmented by some store bought fiesta decorations and holiday lights, the gym was so festive.
The kids and teachers loved their personalized banners, and it was certainly a different take on graduation decor!
