Grad/Summer School Decisions, IEP Grades, & First Prom

Linh has decided to pursue a Masters in Social Work (MSW) graduate program at West Virginia University (WVU). She has also decided to attend social work related classes throughout the summer (May through August) at WVU - 1 class during each (of 2) 6-week summer session.
Linh also received her IEP grades today for 7 classes (Grammar, Reading, Writing, Communication Skills, Vocabulary, Creative Writing & TOEFL "Gold"). She received an "A" in ALL of her classes! A terrific 4.0 GPA to start her WVU studies!
I will be going to WVU tomorrow primarily to help Linh register for her summer classes, buy books, and pay WVU fees - and - attending Linh's WVU Intensive English Program (IEP) graduation!
Last Friday Linh attended her first "prom" - an IEP graduation class celebration! Her and her IEP colleagues "dressed-up" for the occasion (top pic - note "heels"), danced, and had a great time!
