Open House to Celebrtate Graduation


A very American Tradition.....an Open House for family and friends, teachers and school administrators, other students and their parents. For a school like Heritage with a very family focus, these open houses are lovely occasions to celebrate the graduates. The Bosma's graciously invited Joel to share a combined Open House with their graduating son, Chris.


The boys wanted a luau...so the theme was tropical. Chris's Mom arranged everything. It was a such a nice event....the boys had fun and lots of people came.....I had many people come up to me to "brag on" Joel - I am very proud of him!


Below are some photos....

Beautiful decorations and a lovely spread of minature pork BBQ sandwichs, fruit, vegetables, coconut and chocolate desserts. The flowers were magnificant

congratulations Joel...a stepping stone to 'the next big thing' in your life.
One can only hope and pray that the next stepping stone we have to reach (whatever that may be) is within leaping distance. The water can be cold!
cheers
