This week was graduation for the MOHI schools. Thursday was graduation at our Thozin campus in Grand Goave, for the kindergarten, sixth grade and high school. Friday was graduation for the kindergartners and sixth graders at our St. Etienne school. Graduation is a Big Deal here, and I was so grateful to have the opportunity to attend and share the experience. There were demonstrations from the kindergartners about what they want to be when they grow up, and speeches from some of the older students. Unfortunately, in the grand tradition of graduations in my family, I sat too far away and the only pictures I got were blurry. So, here are some pictures others took.
One of the traditions is for a child from the graduating class to pass the torch (or candle) to a child from the next class. Here is a graduating kindergartner from Thozin passing the candle to one of our second year preschoolers.
Another part of the ceremony involves skits, poems, songs and dances performed by various graduating students. Yesterday at the St. Etienne graduation the kindergartners did a dance about their favorite colors and a skit on the importance of using good manners. Here are some pictures from the event.
Happy graduation everyone!
