Graduation 2026
Each year continues to be my favorite.
Each year, I get choked up as I try to speak on graduation night.
Each year, there is so much love and pride in the room, families, children, and our team.
And each year, it is hard to say goodbye.
This year was especially meaningful for Linda and me. We were blessed to host graduation at Encounter, a beautiful location that holds deep significance for us. The stage where our children graduated is the same stage where Ms. Linda was baptized. It is also the same stage where I stood at the beginning of the school year, praying over our school, our teachers, our families, and our children. These children.
Knowing that the year began with prayer in that space and ended with celebrating these precious graduates on that same stage made the evening even more special. It added a layer of meaning that is difficult to put into words.
Graduation is always such a meaningful celebration of growth and the incredible journey of childhood. Watching our students confidently walk across the stage, surrounded by the people who have loved and supported them, is a moment we never take for granted. Thank you to all of the families and friends who joined us to celebrate such a precious milestone.
We are so thankful to everyone who helped make this evening such a success:
Encounter Church for such a special venue
Butchers Korner for catering the reception
The Invite - Event Rentals & Decor for sponsoring the beautiful chairs for our graduates
Shelby for the stunning photo backdrop
Ms Linda for countless hours of planning and preparations
Miss ReRe for all of your love and support
Most of all, thank you to our families for trusting us with your children. It is one of the greatest honors to be part of their story. We are so proud of our Class of 2026 and cannot wait to see where their journey leads next.
