It was my privilege to attend the graduation ceremonies for Noah’s Ark Christian Preschool this past week. The three year old ceremony was held downstairs and marked their passage to the next grade. The four-year-old graduation was held upstairs in the sanctuary. They dressed in costume to sing songs that go with the Noah’s Ark theme; then they went back to the library and came out with graduation caps to complete their program. Mrs. Maum emceed the whole and I closed in a prayer of blessing upon the graduates and their families. Refreshments capped the evening celebration. I presented flowers to Mrs. Maum to honor her for her leadership for another year and to Mrs. Kraus and Mrs. LaForte for their faithful work as helpers. Mrs. Magda Paashaus also taught in the three year old class for part of this past year until she needed to stop for the birth of her son Andrew. Noah’s Ark Preschool is a great opportunity to help children prepare for school and for life in a loving atmosphere where they also learn basic truths of Christian faith.
