June 4: Grad!



A happy and sad night! We are so thankful for the accomplishment of the seniors, but at this ending of the school year, many people will be leaving Senegal and traveling to their home countries. So many that we love-- leave tonight, tomorrow and in the next few days... so our celebration is tinged with sadness!





































One of the fun parts of the graduation/goodbye night has been Jacob's class (now seniors!) taking a class picture-- though some are missing... this group of kids has a lot of fun together and we sure enjoy them! See last year's post-grad picture here!









When we returned to the car at the end of the evening, we found this card for "Aunt Mary", with a beautiful bouquet-- it was an anonymous thank-you note for the time and love I've shared with the students this year... what a surprise and what a treat!
