Yesterday we attended a Family Graduation Celebration. It was a celebration for student-parents. This was the first time the University has done one hosted by the R'Kids and Student-Parent Action Committee.
When we arrived and checked it all the kids received hats and stoles. James refused to wear his. :( Then all the graduates and their families did a dance in. We then got fed breakfast. A delicious meal of eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, fruit and biscuits. They also had some short speeches. The speeches were good. Mostly talking about the challenges of being a parent and a student and the great accomplishments they all have made to be graduating. After the speeches they presented all the graduates and their families certificates and the graduates were given 30 sec to give a shout-out/thank you to those who have helped them get to where they are. Everyone cheered everyone on. It was neat. Afterwards all the kids were given gift bags.
It was such a fun experience. I hope that this becomes regular celebration for future student-parents.
I forgot my camera, but people hosting were taking lots of pictures. So maybe we'll get copies of those. I did take this picture once we got home.
