Last Day of "School"

Well, as unbelievably unreal as "school" has been, it has come to a close for the year.  The girls each visited their respective schools to gather their long-left belongings, in garb that sadly looks completely commonplace by now:

Madeleine simply can't believe she is now a rising 5th grader.  She's a little worried about how she's gonna live up to the pressure.

MADELEINE: It's too bad that I did SUCH a great job at fourth grade, because...how can I ever TOP that as a 5th grader?!?

I have NO doubt that she will succeed. 

Julia did a pretty great job of being a 7th grader, as well.  In fact, who would have thought that the kid with the shy school persona would rock reciting a "Declamation" (a memorized monologue from a novel) to such a degree that she was not only chosen as the best in her class, but won overall in her cluster?  This required reciting twice: once to her class (on Zoom) and again to the entire cluster (on Zoom.)  For her excellence at recitiation and inflection and drama, Julia received this certificate:

BRAVA! 

I imagine that 8th and 5th grades will both be a big success for these kids!
