No, not Caleb. Not yet.I suppose quite a few people aren’t even aware that Melissa has been working on her master’s degree for the last year and a half through Emmaus University just down the road.Last Wednesday she presented her capstone project in front of her class. It was her last big assignment and her topic was “effective teacher evaluation”.During Friday’s morning chapel service, we recognized both Melissa and Kacie, Cowman’s incredible first grade teacher and assistant principal to the elementary, who has completed the same program.
Friday evening brought the “hooding ceremony” for all those graduating this year from an Emmaus program – over 60 in all. (The yellow stole over Melissa’s shoulders represents graduating with academic honors. She’s a smart one!)
Saturday morning we headed to a large local church for the actual graduation ceremony. The graduates had to be there at 8:00 for photos and lining up, and the ceremony started at 9:00 with a loud and joyous procession led by a marching band. The whole family is very proud of Melissa’s accomplishment. We, more than anyone else, recognize how much time and effort went into this moment. Praise the Lord, Who lifted her up and kept her moving forward.
