Our First Graduate!!

We named our little school Clearview Christian Academy and have successfully graduated our first student.

Over the weekend LittleA participated in a graduation ceremony with other homeschooled seniors. Here is the group of 15 graduates from the surrounding area. They each chose the colors they wanted to wear with LittleA choosing maroon and gold.

Here they are hanging out and waiting for the ceremony to begin.
This is the speaker, Dr. John Geib, greeting people before the ceremony. He had a wonderful message for the graduates and a homework assignment: read The Lord of the Rings 5 times in the next 10 years and report back to him in 2020. His message centered around Frodo and Gollum, two characters in the books.

Here is LittleA walking in to Pomp and Circumstance, of course.

Here she is seated with the group, getting ready to receive her diploma.
Each student received their diploma from mom and dad, (those pictures were blurry and I'm crying, so.....) and moms were handed roses. A message from the parents to the graduate was also read by the speaker.
Many of the students in the group had never met before, but these 5 knew each other and had a great time.

Here we all are after the ceremony and reception.

It was a wonderful afternoon.

Congratulations, LittleA on your accomplishment. We love you!
