Graduation and Donor Recognition 2010

I don't need a calendar for me to know that it's that time of year once again.  The flurry of exam preparations, submission of projects, and computation of grades tell me that the school year is drawing to an end.  Graduation is just around the corner. I look at our Sixth Graders and remember how they started in Hungry Minds three years ago.  They seemed so tiny, timid, and shy.  I certainly hope that after being with us for three school years and two summers, these children are smarter, healthier, and wiser.

This time of year is also a time for us to remember those who were part of our journey especially for the past year.  Companies certainly contributed to the cause of Hungry Minds.  So did countless volunteers who shared many hours teaching our students, chaperoning us in our events, and just hanging out to have fun.

Our Donor Recognition and Graduation Ceremonies next week is our way of saying thank you to all those who have been part of giving these children a better chance in life.  It is also a chance for us to keep in touch with our supporters and cheerleaders from the past and even meet new Hungry Minds friends.

Please take some time to be with us on this day.  Bring friends and family since I know they will also enjoy the program.  I look forward to seeing you again and meeting your family and friends!  I posted the invitation to our Graduation and Donor Recognition Ceremonies.  This was made by one of our volunteers, Rikki Jao.  Thanks, Rikki! :)
