Congrats to all the grads. My niece graduated from J.A. Fair, in Little Rock..

No one cares about the K-8 graduations, stop treat those grads like they actually accomplished something.

Dang! I wanted to be featured in a post like this. What about ppl that graduated last year?

@ #7 Yes people do care about K-8 graduations. Have you ever been to one? People get very excited when there’s a graduation no matter what the occasion.

aaaa Congrats to Mya!!

#7 wat rock are u from dumbassness indeed congrats to her shes so cute

Awwwww Mya is sooo cute.

She is so cute. Just sent in my pics.

I hope you have this feature next year when my daughter graduates from the 8th grade and my younger sister graduates from college!! It is nice to acknowledge people for the accomplishments they have achieved, may it be pre-school, or beauty school, graduation shows that that you remained focused for a certain amount of time to master the skill(s) needed to moving on in life. It may be Kindergarten, or on to studying for your Ph.d you had a goal and accomplished it!! Thanks CL for this feature. Hopefully it will inspire many to accomplish their goal(s) whatever they are.

My youngest sister graduated from Northside High School and is on her way to college! I am so proud of her and all the graduates! Glad to hear people don’t just stop with a high school diploma…if you want to get somewhere, you have to at least have a Bachelors..I had to get a Masters for my field…that is all..

That is beautiful! They (all graduates) need to know people care. Not just people, but their own. And we applaud for everything that isn’t all good, or worthy enough to be praised, or give accolades for the ignorance. But this right here is one up for the Future. There is hope and it’s not in Barack being President; it’s in Us and Our future

I am happy for children that graduate from any grade it is an accomplishment My baby brother will be finishing high school in four years and I can’t wait.

Great Idea….CONGRATS MYA!

@7, then you must do not have kids, cause K-8 are the most special ones, “damn FOLKS”, try to mess up everything positive, SMH

^^^^^^^#7, you sound very ignorant. This a precious little girl who has graduated from
pre-k. Why did you have to put your nasty little comment on here! Grow
up! But anyways she is so adorable. I can’t wait for my Imani to graduate
from Pre-K “tear coming down my eye”. LOL! Oh yeah my lil cuzzo
Shawntae graduated from High School yesterday, wish I could have been
there!!! Lets Stay Positive!!!!!!

oh…my…god she is adorable!
congrats and great name

This is a good idea, Angel! Like to see my people getting educated!

I graduate next Friday. Woot!

Congrats to Mya. They went all out for a Pre-K graduation.

she is a cuttie

Hey my school and many others do January and May graduations. Ill be graduating on Jan. 11 2009!! So ill send pics then and you hopefully you can store it and save it for when you do your next post. BTW this is an excellent idea.

She is absolutely adorable!!! Congrats Mya, this is just the beginning baby!! Next stop Condee job!!! or kindergarden!!!

She is so beautiful!

lmfao @ #7….those graduations don’t matter? then how the heck do they get the graduations that “really” matter…like high school and college? they have to start somewhere dummy…any graduation marks an accomplishment.

meant how the heck do they get TO*

Excellent IDEA!!!! SOOO cutteeee

I just graduated a few weeks ago from college! YAY!!! That little girl reminds me of the kindergarteners I had in my classroom. I know they do it up north a lot, and at private schools, but their parents were so sad to hear that they didn’t have a kindergarten graduation. Nevertheless, they are still proud of them.

# 7 Politically Incorrect–I happen to work at an inner city school where YES we celebrated PreK graduation, K graduation, 5th grade graduation and 6th grade graduation!!! Many of these kids come from pretty bad situations and the statistics are stacked AGAINST them. The early grades are where we strive to reach them so they CAN go on to accomplish more! Why don’t you take your negative energy and channel it in more POSITIVE ways!!

is it legal to have underage kids picture on this type of site? just asking…

Congrats to ALL the graduates from Pre-K–on UP!! NEVER let someone like #7 hold you back! I wish big things for little Mya and all those dare to EXCEL!!!

I graduated from college (Bachelors) on June 4th, 2008!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!

**i think this is a wonderful idea, keep it up*****

CONGRATS TO ALL THE GRADUATES I HAVE TO WAIT TILL NEXT YR! BUT I’LL SEND YA’LL SOME PICS THEN!

MYA IS SUCH A CUTIE HER PARENTS BETTER WATCH OUT FOR HER WHEN SHE GRADUATES FROM HIGH SCHOOL..

Get that diploma, baby girl!

I graduate high school next year!

should a 4-year-old be allowed to check CL??? Somebody somewhere must have dropped the ball…either her parents or her, ahem, babysitter…………….

I said she knows about it. She doesn’t read it daily. LOL! When I babysit her she asks to see the latest photos of Rihanna and Raven…

I’m pretty sure she doesn’t have her own laptop yet, so she ain’t checking it that much.

ok…u’ve been acquitted

I feel mixed when it comes to graduations perhaps in the same way aspolitically incorrect. Yes, it is important to celebrate transitions from school to school but I think some of us take it too too too far. A middle school prom where 8th grade girls are dressing seductively. Nah, ma, I don’t think so.

A lot of folks say that the reason why 8th grade graduation is such a big is because most of the students are unlikely to graduate from high school. I say when need to spend less money on the graduation and allot more funds in summerbridge programs from middle school to high school.

whoop whooop !!! I Grad nxt month !!!

Congrats to Mya and everyone who graduated this year. I graduated last year (bachelor’s) and will be receiving my master’s next year…pictures will be sent….Oh to number 7, I have had a graduations for pre-k,6th grad,8th and high school. They make you feel special and mark accomplishments. To make such an asinine statement shows the lack of responsibility toward children and uninteliigence that you posses. I hope one day you can see the importance of lifting our children up that society constantly belittles.

what an adorable cutie piieee

She is sooo pretty! Congrats cutie!

great idea Angel…. keep pushin forward ma!

Awe shes so precious….. well done Mya, keep it up!!!

#7 get a life……your an idiot, children have to start somewhere and your supposed to encourage them from an early age. So in future keep your loose rap to yourself.

cuteness lol

@ 31 much agreed.

Very awesome idea Angel.

Congratulations to the little cutie in the picture. I also have niece who just graduated from Preschool herself. My youngest sister also graduated from college with double major and studied abroad in South Africa. My family and I are very proud of her.

Congratulations to everyone who knows someone who graduated from preschool to a Master’s degree. Society constantly tell people of color that we are unsuccessful and do not achieve much in life and that’s a lie from the devil himself…we need to uplift and encourage on another regardless of what degree we obtain. May each graduate here and unknown be blessed and achieve great things in life.

Ahh my little sister grafuates form pre school next week. I luv you Iyanna!

My niece graduated from pre school too!

sp. graduates

She’s so cute! Congratulations to all the Graduates!

Dang y didnt u do this last year when i graduated Angel!!!!!!

I love 2 C children accomplishing their goals even if its head start to college. 1 thing we can never put a color is education. My daughter received 5 awards 2day. Although she’s only 7, I was getting a lil teary eyed watching her cross that stage. cuz I could just picture her walking across that stage as a young adult! Education is the key 2 success and children hold the future key!

I think this will be a good segment…

And I’m not afraid to actually say I kind of agree with #7…

I always thought the graduations for the elementary school kids was ridiculous, lol.

CONGRATULATIONS to all of the GRADUATES !
Such a wonderful accomplishment.

she is soooooo adorable!!!!! congrats sweetie!!!!!
i graduated from h.s. last year….will be getting my degree in a couple years!!!

angel this is a great idea****

She’s adorable. Cant wait till my college graduation in 2010.

Thank you TKJACK25, even Barack Obama stated there is too much celebration in our community with these Kindergarten graduations. Ok be proud of the kid, buy them lunch and call it a day, and make sure they go to the library during the summer.

I wish the best to all the new & current college students. Go to school, stay in school, and actually FINISH school!!

I will receive my 3rd college degree (MBA) in December. Its nothing like finishing something you started and being able to see the benefits from your accomplishments.

Congrats to all the graduates! Oh, what an adorable little girl she is!!!

You know its amazing that this post can receive 62+ comments about some k-8th grade graduation & yet the post about Nas’s new video/song gets 77 comments? I mean a child–especially a black child graduating is a beautiful thing but I hardly think its worth an entire post & 62+ comments. I just feel like Nas is doing something real courageous & is trying shed light/have a real dialogue about our history & usage of the n-word yet only 77+ people cared 2 comment on it? WTF?

#63 - u need to stfu.. HUSH!!

I actually just went to that Nas post today because I wanted to see what people said. I didn’t comment. No I haven’t watched the video, and no i don’t want to. I haven’t even listened to the song. Personally, I feel like the discussion on the word is overdone and a song will hardly change anything. But the worst part about it is you had to come to THIS post and bash a little girl reaching a milestone. She deserves more comments than the Nas post! There are some true idiots in this post..

P.S. I graduated from college in May with a Computer Science. B.S. Congrats to all graduates!

PLUS this post isn’t just about the little girl.. It’s trying to inform us of the new feature.. We just opened up with this precious girl!

Congrats to all of the graduates and Mya is a little cutie.

@ 64

graduated from college in May with a Computer Science. B.S. Congrats to all graduates!
_____________________________________________________
Congrats, but was that really necessary?

graduating from 8th grade is not a milestone, is something that should be expected not praised.

@#8 You are absolutely right. Graduation is special no matter what grade. Day care is even special because they do a huge celebration and when my son graduated the ceremony was beautiful. They dressed up in kente cloth and tried to sing songs and it was a tear jearker. I love graduations.

@7 when you have communities (like mine) graduating 35 out of an 8th grade class of 95 then those graduations become very important and are an accomplishment. But that was some time ago, I just graduated from UC Berkeley a few weeks ago.

oh congrats to all the other grad!

This is the reason why, I check up on concreteloop on a regular :0 such great ideas! Congrats to Mya, awww cutie Pie!

I graduated from the University of Arkansas @ Little Rock with a degree in Nursing!! Yay me!

I just graduated from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville with my Masters!! Congrats to ALL the graduates!! I’ve sent in my pic!!!

YALL SHOULD DO A PROM ONE

How cute!

I graduate from college in January 09, I don’t walk until May though.
