Graduation!

Today was graduation day. They call it graduation because it is the final day of the program and we have a banquet and ceremony in which everyone gets a "diploma."

A video was shown and Dr. Tackett gave a speech. Student entertainment was MC'ed by Rob Schwab and Crystal, and there was singing, flute playing, piano, and a tribute to Canada.


Mom and dad were able to come to the festivities.

5 rounds times 3 people equals too much chapstick.


Josh is really excited he graduated. Of course, they save the best (APUers) for last.
