8th Grade Graduation

Last Friday was the last official day of school for the 2011-2012 school year at TLC.  We had a special graduation ceremony for our four 8th grade graduates.

L-R: Junia, Fednel, Reginald, Manuela

The parents of the graduates and all the TLC students were invited to the ceremony.  Everyone came wearing their very best clothes.

Mr. Nickson was the MC for the event.

Pastor Bobby joined us for the celebration.

The students prepared songs, speeches, and dances.

The graduates asked the school staff to join them on "stage" for special recognition.  Our school staff come before 6 AM every day and work hard until 3:30.  I'm amazed that they work so hard for so little pay.  I wish that we could afford to do more for them.

Each of the 8th graders received a diploma.

Everyone joined together to pray for our graduates.

After the ceremony, the graduates, parents, students, and teachers enjoyed a meal of rice, beans, turkey, and cake.

Special table for the graduates and their parents

It was a wonderful day for everyone!
