There
are traditions that are often described but never captured. Graduation
at Miquon is one -- because for everyone there it reflects so much of the
past and promises so much for the future. This year, graduation took place
on Wednesday, June 7th, in fine spring weather. The ceremony included remarks
from Miquon parents Connie Devlin (also the assistant to the principal)
and Gary Pelkey, and presentation of gifts to the school from both the
graduating class (kitchen equipment) and their parents (computer equipment
for the science room). Of course, the heart of the ceremony was the graduates'
speeches and the presentation of diplomas, We are proud of the Class of
2000 and grateful for their many contributions to the life of the school.
We wish them every success and hope they will stay in touch as they bring
their gifts to new schools.
