Today was the day of our annual TORCH Promotion ceremony.
This has been an annual event for four years now.
It's a nice way for the families in our group to recognize all that the kids have done and celebrate the joy of coming together as Homeschoolers.
The event began with a Prayer and the pledge read by two of the kids.
After that the children that had prepared something either played an instrument or sang.
A few recited poems.
We took the Piano, digital of course, so that the pianists could perform. It was really neat to hear the many talented musicians in our group.
John played a song that he has been practicing and he did a very nice job.
Brendan played as well, and it was really cute! He did NOT want to go up, but he did and he did play pretty well. I wanted him to do it more for the performance aspect than anything else. It's just good for them.
Paul got up on stage to recite "The Old Woman In The Shoe"
He took the mike and did so well! It was his own version.
He loves an audience.
Then the kids got their certificates. They each got one for their hard work in school this year.
The group gave me a lovely gift certificate, as I am stepping down from the Coordinator position this year. I am moving on to field trips!
Then we had time to visit and look at the projects that the kids had brought. There were some wonderful things on display.
We also got the kids together at the end to take a group picture.
It was a very nice day.
After we got home the boys got into their trunks and we went over to the pool.
John and Brendan spent a lot of time going off the board.
Just a very good day.
