graduation

lovely ceremony. kindergarteners, 5th graders, 8th graders, seniors. seniors each displayed a personalized video. speakers ranged from historical perspectives on tve to personal message to a broad sweep of where our young adults go, and how each is honored, whichever path they choose. over 200 in attendance. parents granted diplomas. homeschool orchestra. homespun, family oriented. just right. what a sweet memory. thanks to my friend john buyer, for providing photography for our event.
