Rice's Ramblings
• May. 21, 2008 - The Class of 2008!
Grace Homeschool Co-op Graduation took place on Saturday, May 3, 2008. Six students participated in the graduation ceremony (including my sweet Katie Rose.) The ceremony began with the ceremonial blowing of a shofar and was followed by prayer and a graduation address. Each student was given a "charge" and then spoke briefly. Parents awarded diplomas and flipped tassels.
Following the ceremony, we had a cake and punch reception. Each graduate decorated a table with childhood memories. Katie decorated her table with samples of her artwork a display board of photographs, and her most recent scrapbook.
Four of the graduates spent their senior year fundraising to take a 7 day cruise on the Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas. Each student took their mother as a chapperone (WOW it was a lot of fun). We visited Labadee, Haiti; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; George Town, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico. Our trip from Georgia to Miami was exciting and included a breakdown on the Florida Turnpike, beach activities at South Beach, Miami, and a 5 hour white stretch limo tour of Miami the night before the cruise.
Now we are home and trying to unpack and get ready for a graduation reception and Memorial Day. College is just around the corner and I want to savor the last summer with all of my children at home! |
