An ending . . . . . . . and a beginning
Sarah graduated with honors last week. It was bittersweet.
As part of a small Christian school, the Lakeland Christian Academy graduation ceremony was poignant and personal. The LCA staff chose a personal verse for each student that was read as they received their diploma. Sarah's verse was "Love: Giving to others' basic needs without having as my motive personal reward."
She honored us with her accomplishments inside and outside the classroom.
"Free the Knees" (No more dress code!!!!)
One of the best perks among all the wonderful chaos of events in the past month leading to graduation, was a visit from Clara, Tracy and Nate!
. . . and for one more day, "It's all about me"
The menu included many of Sarah's favorite foods: Pineapple Chicken, Crannberry Chicken, Spinach-Artichoke Rolls, Black Bean and Corn Salsa, Fresh Veggies with Gramma's Ginger-Soy Dip, Turtle Brownies, Cheesecake, White Chocolate-covered Strawberries, Raspberry Lemonade and a giant 2010 created by the Rice Cripsy Treat Queen, Rae.
(The infamous poppyseed chicken was served at the family celebration on Graduation Day)
Sarah . . . . We are proud of everything you have accomplished, but most importantly, by who you have become.
,
Beautiful!
