Moffett Elementary 5th Grade Clap-Out Ceremony

Today R2 participated in Moffett Elementary School's fifth grade clap-out ceremony, in Huntington Beach, CA. We were joined by several members of the 501st.



This middle school goes up to fifth grade, and when the fifth graders graduate, they get to march around the decorated blacktop, as family members and students in the younger grades cheer them on. The Star Wars characters were invited as a surprise to the students and most of the faculty, and they got quite a cheer when they emerged and led the fifth graders around the blacktop.

I was busy operating the droid, so I only got a couple of pictures at the finish line. The characters stopped after the first lap, but the fifth graders did a second lap and we were there to receive them.



Afterward, students got pictures with the characters, as did some of the staff.



The students were ecstatic (like screaming-ecstatic) to have us there, and it was a lot of fun.
