High School Graduations

They are happening all across the country in big cities and little towns. You may be attending one, or several this year. It has been a few years since I went to one, but I attended my grandson's graduation at Cascade High School on Friday evening. The ceremony was wonderful and I actually got goosebumps when the band started playing "Pomp and Circumstance."

The only thing prouder than a mom watching her child walk across that stage to accept their diploma is................ watching her daughter watch her child walk across that stage.



I am so proud of Tony, who will be attending Indiana State University in the Fall after working this summer at the National Group.
GREAT JOB Julie & Jim!

High school graduation seems to be a specifically American institution. Our youngsters have graduation ceremonies from University - I proudly attended my older son's ceremony a few years ago - but nothing from their secondary schools. You are rightly proud of your daughter and her husband - it isn't easy to raise a child, especially these days where there are so may problems and temptations for them to contend with
