Our first homeschool graduate!




My oldest son Andrew, who has been homeschooled all his life, graduated from high school today! This year he took one class at a local Christian school and since the school has done our homeschool evaluations every year, he was able to get a diploma through the school. It's really hitting me tonight what an accomplishment this is for him, and for us as parents. He has worked so hard this year! Not only did he have a full load of 12th grade schoolwork, but he also taught a speech class, competed at a number of speech tournaments, and was Grandpa Jo in the play Willy Wonka Jr! He also wrote, directed and performed in a musical, played basketball, and worked very hard on his Senior project. I'm so proud of my son!

  4. Congratulations. It gives other home schooling Mommies a boost to see one cross the finish line. Your son's accomplishment was certainly what I needed to 'keep on keepin' on.'
