Graduation Day--final one

from public schools.  Students with disabilities have the opportunity to attend post-secondary schooling until the semester after they turn 22.  That would mean that Jena could qualify for one more semester, but due to the fact that Jena is busy with many things and only has ever attended part-time, her teachers felt that she might as well graduate now (or last December).  So Wednesday, May 16, Gary headed down to Provo to pick her up and bring her back to get ready for her last graduation (and ours, too.)

It was held at the Vista Education Center where she has been attending.  It was a sweet program with 30 graduates.

Jena's teacher, Shannon King:  She talked about each of the students in her class.  She has been Jena's teacher for the 3 years she has been at Vista.

Jena getting her diploma from Tammy Bradford, who was the principal over her program at Vista.

 Jena with Olivia, an aide, that became friends with Jena.  I don't think she was even in Jena's class.

And dinner at the Panda Express to celebrate.............

And Jena's fortune that night: 

Nothing can keep YOU from reaching your Goals!

 It seemed like a perfect fortune for graduation day..............

Jena earned her high school diploma and was awarded it for 2015 the time when her class graduated from high school.  Now all five of my children have diploma from Clearfield High School.  Go, Falcons!

Congratulations, Jena, on all of your hard work and on to your next goals!!!!

(And up at 5:15 a.m. the next day to catch the Front Runner back to Provo with Vicki.)

So final graduation....until the grandchildren start!
