    1. It's purple on the boys dearie. Just looks blue from the crappy indoor lighting at the school. All of the schools here have the kids wear the school colors at graduation. Mariah's school is purple and yellow, but thankfully they changed the girls gowns to white this year. Yellow would have been hideous for the photos. My best friend's son had something like light baby blue for the boys and maroon for the girls, I think.

    2. but why do they separate them that way by sexes :( Some of our schools are considering bringing school coats back so that they would all look the same and not brag with expensive clothes, but I've seen that they are planning rosy for the girls and blue for the boys, and I don't like that kind of segregation, I mean what is then the point of coats if you will impose two different colours on them. I wish they would all wear the same.
      Some of our high schools graduates opt for not buying expensive clothes for prom and instead they collect that money and give it to charity to celebrate their entrance into adulthood in a generous way. When they went on that walk through the city that I mentioned to you recently, instead of parading in gowns and suits, they put a disabled friend of theirs on the head of the group and he led them in a new electric wheelchair that they bought him with the money for expensive outfits, it was so lovely.

    3. I guess it's just something that's always been done. Honestly, I don't think anyone here thinks it's a big deal being color coded by gender. I think our school would allow a transgender student to wear whatever color they wanted. Now, if they were separated by race or religion, that would be an issue, I'm sure.

    1. Yes, most schools do color coded based on their school colors here. She's ready to get out there in the big bad world. At least, itching to get to college where she can have a little more freedom lol.

  11. Congratulations! My daughter just graduated a few weeks ago. I wish they would have been allowed to decorate their hats. The admin at the school does not allow it. I love your daughter's hat! Very clever!

    1. Congrats to your daughter too! I did notice that at my best friend's son's ceremony, they didn't decorate their hats and they all threw their hats in the air at the end. Our students didn't want to lose theirs, so no hat throwing went on here lol.
