May 21 Homeschool Graduation planning meeting, Bethlehem GA

EAGLES Home Educators is again hosting a high school graduation. We are
open to ANY homeschool graduating senior. The date is set for our
graduation, Saturday, May 21, and the location is Bethlehem First United
Methodist Church, Bethlehem, GA. As our 5th annual graduation we have a
very accommodating program for our graduates that focuses on the parent
as the teacher and highlights every child. Cost is usually very small in
comparison to many other graduations as all parents are involved in the
coordination of a wonderful event. Most years we have around 10-15
graduates.

Our kickoff planning meeting is Sunday, January 23 at 3PM at Bethlehem
1st United Methodist. (This is easy access for Gwinnett County or even
Athens. Coming from Gwinnett, Take 316 to Hwy 11 and turn right, church
is less than a mile on right.) Graduates _AND_ Parents will need to be
in attendance for details, planning, and measuring for caps and gowns.

*Bethlehem First United Methodist Church *
709 Christmas Ave.
P.O. Box 235

All future communications for and among the graduation group will also

Homeschool Graduation at Olgethorpe University

From email list:

2010 Homeschool Graduation Commencement?

We are proud to honor our homeschool graduating seniors with a Graduation
Commencement Ceremony.

The ceremony will be held at Oglethorpe University on Saturday, May 8, 2010
at 1:00pm.

We will be ordering commemorative diplomas, caps and gowns, and will share
light snacks and drinks at a reception following the ceremony.

If you have a senior graduating this year, and would like to join us, please
email Jennifer Kobres at jkobres@gmail.com jkobres@gmail.com>.
Diplomas, caps, gowns, tassels
and drinks will be provided at cost and will be sharing a maintenance fee,
so the more seniors we have, the less expensive it will be (Oglethorpe
graciously provides us with the complementary use of their facilities - we
just need to cover the cost of their maintenance staff). If you are
interested, please let us know by April the 21st.

Students and parents would have time to address the audience

Also, I think a yearly homeschool awards ceremony is in order. Anyone interested in such a thing?

If we get enough responses, we will start planning for it in January 2009.
