HOME Graduation

Saturday, March 21, 2020 at 1:00pm

Samoset Resort, Rockport 

Do you have a young adult who will be finishing their high school education in 2020? If so, HOME would like to invite you to participate in a very special graduation ceremony. Join us to mark this momentous occasion in the life of your child! 

HOME's graduation ceremony provides a great sense of accomplishment for each participating family, and is also an encouragement for other homeschoolers to continue on through high school! 

In addition, the ceremony provides a wonderful way to include family and friends in a special celebration. Parents take part in the event, too, and will present the diploma to their child. 

Graduation occurs on the final day of HOME's Annual Convention. For a complete family getaway with your graduate, consider attending HOME Convention events, as well!

GRADUATION DETAILS 

• Graduates and parents may present short speeches (2-3 minutes) about their homeschooling experience and future plans, if desired, following their diploma presentation. 

• A video slide show of the graduates as they have grown up is presented as part of the ceremony. If you wish to participate in this way, please plan to send 8 - 10 pictures of your graduate by email or CD to Tiffany Wilcoxson,  tiffany@lifesourcemaine.org.

• A reception with light refreshments will follow the ceremony.  

• Graduation apparel and diplomas can be ordered through the HSLDA Store.

• Planning a special dinner following the event? For those who would like to continue their family celebration right at the Samoset Resort, consider making reservations at La Bella Vita. Here are some more suggestions in the area. 

• To make the most of your special occasion, plan for overnight accommodations at the Samoset Resort and enjoy the resort's beautiful location and many amenities. 

GRADUATION KEYNOTE - Scott Woodruff, Senior Counsel, HSLDA
