And more graduations.

Once we had Joy School graduation under our belts, it was time for Kindergarten Graduation.  Doesn't the little grad look happy?

There.  That's more like it.

 

 

A few days later and we were onto high school graduation.  Two of them.  Of the eleven girls I taught at church this year, eight graduated from high school in May.  Can you say expensive?  I put a new twist on cash gifts by attaching bills to little bars of 100Grand and stuffing them in a jar labeled with their name and a donation fund I thought they would appreciate.  For instance, one label read: The (insert name) Greek Yogurt Fund, because this particular girl has to ration herself down to a one a day habit of greek yogurt in order to not break the bank.  Of course, it wasn't an entirely original idea but hey, that's what pinterest is for, right?

 

I will miss these girls - they are stellar young women!  Can't wait to see the places they will go and the good they will do.
