Graduation, Class of 2023!

 Congratulations to the Class of 2023!!!!  There was a young man in our house that was ready for this day to come awhile ago now!!!!  Matthew finished all his school years well!  He made lifetime friends, learned a lot and really enjoyed his Senior Trip to Africa!!!!  He is now ready to face his job head on and live outside the classrooms!

On the Seniors last day of school, they came over to the elementary school and walked through the hallways as the younger school kids clapped and cheered them on!!!!  So cool!

Graduation was so special!!!!  Something was spoken over each and every senior!  Words of life, encouragement, funny stories and meaningful things that occurred at school!  This was really special from the teachers to do this to the students!

So many good words and speeches were given on this night!

We are so proud of Matthew and his coaches!!!!  Mike and Clair have really helped Matthew excel in his high school sports!!!!  So much gratitude and appreciation goes out to them!

Thank you coaches!

Diploma in hand!!!!!

A rose was given to every mom and dad.  He made me cry!  I can't believe his so grown up already!!!!

We are so proud of you Matthew!!!!

We were there to celebrate Matthew's accomplishment!  We missed Jeremiah but he was out of town.

Congratulations Class of 2023!

Mike and I had breakfast with Matthew the day of graduation!  I was so happy to see these cars and trucks in our driveway the next morning.  All the seniors went to a class party after grad and then some of the boys came back here to sleep.  We love Matt's friends and we will miss those who we won't see as much anymore.  Graduation is always a change in a young person life and life moves on.  

Matthew is excited to begin his job!  Earn some money!  Pay some bills and enjoy his life after high school!  Congrats Matthew!
