Graduation & Awards Ceremony
May 22, 2010
More Details TBA
Everest offers a very special Awards & Graduation Ceremony in May of every year. The Awards Ceremony is for all Everest families regardless of grade. The Graduation Ceremony is for High School and Kindergarten Graduates.
What makes this ceremony so special?
The families of course! We are homeschoolers, so we do not have to follow tradition. We can do things our own way. You can choose to present your child's award or diploma or request that the administrator of Everest do so. Your child can give a performance or a speech if they so choose. Many children bring samples of their work or experiments to put on display.
 Every graduation ceremony is special and unique. At the 2008/2009 ceremony, we had a photographer on site taking pictures of all of the graduates. We also spotlighted all of the awards recipients and graduates with a customized photo show featuring hand-picked photos, songs, and quotes.

Here is what one Everest Mom had to say...
I was so impressed with how well this was done. I have so many sweet memories of that day that I will always treasure. One of the few fears I had of homeschooling was that we might miss these types of activities. Once I had seen the Everest website and talked to Deb and seen what Everest had to offer I was somewhat relieved. Though I must admit that I still wondered how it would all work. I must say that this first year of "official" homeschooling has been great. We have met so many great families and had so many great activities to attend. But this graduation ceremony was the icing on the cake. I was beyond pleased. Thank you so much to Deb, Sue, Briana and all the others that worked so hard to make that one day such a blessed event. It may have been just one day but it encompassed so much more. It solidified to me that homeschooling families need not give up anything in order to do what is best for their children. I felt so happy and so blessed to be a part of such an awesome "family" as I sat at the ceremony. I wiped a few tears and fought back many more (I have a tough exterior to uphold LOL) as I saw the awards and diplomas given out. Thank you again to the many people who made this year and the graduation a wonderful bunch of memories for my family.
