Senior Tea - Mersades

Senior Tea.  Another first for me in the scheme of life...  It's a night for the Seniors and their families to come together and listen to toasts/speeches from one special teacher in the Seniors life.  I do believe that the students are asked to write a short list, maybe three, of the teachers who have had the most influence in their lives at Dalat.  After that, I'm not sure how the teachers sort out which student they are toasting, but they do, and they turn the night into a very enjoyable evening.  An evening where you learn another small piece about your boarding school kid.  


Mom and dad ready to escort Mersades to the event.  We left the other hoodlums with grandma so we didn't have to listen to "Are we done yet??" ;)

As I have stated before, Mersades has really become known for her baking skills at school.  A previous teacher of hers, asked if she would be interested in making his contribution to the nights event.  (There were soooooo many goodies that evening... and yes, we tried most of them!!  Major sugar overload!!!)  So being the overachiever that Mersades is, instead of just baking a regular cupcake, she decides to come up with this cookie dough stuffed chocolate cupcake with cookie dough icing.  On top of the cookie dough icing sat a miniature chocolate chip cookie along side a shard of white and dark chocolate. (I don't have that pic with me, but when I get it from Marz, I will post it.)

I have the pic now.... ;)

Here is the inside of the cupcake.

Mrs. Chinn, Mersades English teacher from the start of Mersades' days at Dalat, wrote Marz an Ode.  

Mrs. Chinn and Marz

This is Mrs. Allen and Marz.  Mrs. Allen was Mersades' bible teacher this year and was on Mersades' short list as a speaker. Both Mrs. Chinn and Mrs. Allen were huge influences in Mersades life at Dalat and for that, I thank them!

And you just can't waste the night of being all dressed up without doing a photo shoot! ;)  I have to document that I can actually do these things! LOL!!
