Week of June 7, 2010
Bieber CA.
School graduations, both from 8th grade and High School are quite an
event in Big Valley. We had 21 8th grade graduates and 21 High School
graduates and yet the gymnasium was
packed with over 500 people. Obviously the gym was filled not only with
family, but friends who have known the students for years. Once again
we see how close our community is to show this much interest!
Not only were the bleachers filled but the gym floor was also filled with seated guests.
The week started with the High School "Baccalaureate"on Monday. A
Baccalaurieate is a tradition of celebrating acadamic achievement with
a religious tone. A minister or priest will bless students.
Although the religious aspect is still there, the ceremony is
largly secular where the main purpose is to recognize and congratulate
students on their acheivements. Pastor John Thompson gave the religious
address. Many awards and recognitions were given, including the
announcement of the Valedictorian (the top academic
achiever), Bronson Daniel Hammons and Salutatorian (the second top achiever), Tierney Page Carmichael.
The Baccalauriate at the Memorial Hall
After
the Baccalauriate, a dinner was served for students and guests. This
gave everyone a chance to relax in an informal atmosphere.,
few wore a gown durning the meall and most enjoyed several well
made albums of photographs taken durning the school year.
After the Bac' dinner was served.
