Often I am asked, or I ask myself, why teachers & administrators put in the long days during the final week of school. Well, below are three quick reasons why it is all worth it.
- Hailey, giving her Grad 2012 Historian’s Speech
- Aaron, giving his Grad 2012 Valedictorian’s Speech, and
- Pastor Greg Bitgood, giving his Grad 2012 Superintendent’s Charge
What an evening. A true celebration – a student showcase – for our Grade 8 to 11 students, followed by our Graduation 2012 Convocation & Awards Ceremony.
The following evening we packed the auditorium for our Graduation Banquet. Yes, as a small school we have the privilege of recognizing each individual graduate. Huge thanks to our MCs – Mr. David Laird & Mr. Justin Enns. Also, wonderful addresses to our graduates from Mr. Patrick Hayden and Mr. Steve Smith. It is a true honour working along-side you all.
Congratulations, Heritage Christian School Graduates of 2012.
For me graduation at our small Christian school yesterday felt like: Here are my former students, graduating now. I will miss these guys. They have become part of my life.
Thank-you for your thoughts. It’s amazing what impact – both from teacher to student and from student to teacher – can take place through an educational experience that is so focussed on discipleship & relationship.
