(See THIS LINK for title explanation...)
This year was the second in a long line of years yet to come. With God's help, the second Discher student - as well as the second student for Community Christian Academy - graduated, and began the next phase in her life!
Sarah worked hard and really pushed these last few weeks to finish the requirements laid out for her before gaduation, and on Sunday, October 11th, we honored her work during her graduation ceremony and the party afterwards!!
We are so proud of you, Lizzie!!!
Graduating with Sarah was Samuel Graves, who completed his requirements at the same time. So, a smaller ceremony for each was expanded into a nice big one for both! (plus, as Sarah says, she doesn't have to graduate alone! YEAH!)
Congratulations Sam!!!
Of course, there are plenty of pictures to remind us of this wonderful occasion! Here are a few of them for y'all to enjoy...
The announcments are (finally) ready to mail out...
