2006 Emmanuel Christian School Graduation
Posted on 09 June 2006
This year the Senior graduation falls on our Anniversary. Needless to say, we will celebrate at another time since this will be a busy weekend. We were at the school until about 4:30pm helping with the decorations. When I left, the gym looked so pretty and ready for the reception. The theme this year was “Reaching for the Stars.” The guest speaker had a ribbon which had Emmanuel Christian School Flames engraved on it. He had the Seniors come up to the front and he rolled out the ribbon from one end to the other with each Senior holding it. Then he had the Pastor come cut the ribbon in pieces for each Senior. The ribbon, in one piece, represented the whole class as they were today. When it was cut, it represented the class as individuals going out their seprate directions. He had all the parents stand behind their child and they prayed over the family. I’m sure that both parents and seniors will remembers this forever. Also, it is a tradition at Emmanuel Christian School for the Senior class to pass the flame to the Junior class. The passing of the flame ceremony was beautiful and touching. The Seniors, with their lit candle, will light the Junior’s candles and extinguish their candle which symbolizes the end of their Senior year and the start of a new year for the rising Junior. Amber, my daughter’s best friend since the 3rd grade, will be passing her the flame. I can’t believe that we now have a Senior in the house. Actually, we now have 3 Seniors in the house. I will provide a link for pictures soon.
