The Graduate










Another kid from the Male home has now graduated from High School and we couldn't be more proud of her, in spite of the fact that it has taken me two weeks to post this article!

We had a very exciting weekend two weeks ago as we celebrated Ally's graduation. Here are some stats from Allyson's illustrious high school career:
  • Graduated with distinction (GPA over 4.0)
  • Nominated and selected for National Honor Society
  • Track Junior year
  • Member of Student Council - Junior/Senior
  • SODA (Students Opposed to Drugs and Alcohol.)
  • TRI (Teens Reaching Youth)
  • Lean on Me
  • Acquired her CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant)
  • Volunteer at the H.D. Youth Center
  • Mexico Missions Trip with NCBC Youth
  • Served in Deep Impact (NCBC Middle School)
Judy's parents came in for the festivities and to celebrate with us. There was a lot of eating and sleeping. Bob and Kay are now retired and living the high life. : )

On Saturday night we had a grad party/dance with two other families. You will see pictures in the slide show of us having a great time. There's even a father/daughter graduation dance! It was a great time and I am pretty sure we did the Cha Cha Slide at least two or three times. It was a great time and we think about 250 people showed at the Round House where we had the event! Awesome!!!

Allyson is now working as a CNA at Northbrook Manor Nursing Home and will be heading to St. Ambrose University in the fall for Track One Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. We are so proud of you Allyson!!! Great job! Dad out.
