Congratulations!
Send out announcements and have and open house for people to come and congratulate you on your hard work.
The announcement could say something like
CLASS OF 2007
You are invited to a Graduation Party (or open house)
in honor of
Marti ??
on Saturday August ??, 2007
3 o'clock PM
1234 Main St
anytown, USA
John and Jane ??(whatever your parents names are)
Also if there are other homeschool grads in your area you could do a combined celebration
sure you can to special relatives and friends maybe you could have Little get to together, even a barbecue its special even if your home schooled
I think Graduation Announcements are a great idea. Maybe you could have a ceremony. Ask your parents if you could invite close friends and family and your parents can formally give you your diploma. Then you can say a few words and follow up with some appetizer type food and drinks. Your graduation is important regardless of where you went to school.
Absolutely! I did. My family and I had a little ceremony of our own. It was neat because I was the first grandchild to have a graduation party. My brothers "didn't feel like having a party" lol.
Even though you aren't planning a ceremony I would send out announcements. Announce that you have graduated. I am sure people would appreciate it. You don't have to have a party, but it might be fun to invite some family over for dessert or something. That way if they do want to give you a little token of their appreciation that would be fine. You don't have to though. Not everyone has a party. I remember when I graduated I went out to pizza with my parents, a friend, and my sis. I enjoyed it. I had lots of friends, but they were busy doing their own parties.
Yes, and you should at least have a party even if its not going to be a formal ceremony. Really, a basic ceremony would be easy to do also if you want, just a party with you and your parents each giving a little speech about what your graduation and the experience of homeschooling has meant to each of you. What you hope for the future, etc. Ending with them awarding you your homeschool diploma. Of course, you might not want all of that, but at least you should invite a few friends and relatives and have a little party, you deserve it!
I graduated late, (I think I was 25) from an adult high school program at a community college. Because of my age I didn't think it really made sense to take part in the ceremony, but afterward I kind of regretted that decision. After all, I worked hard to go back to school after all those years, it wasn't easy while working full time and taking care of a baby, I should have given myself that "moment of glory".
You deserve your moment too, even if its just a simple party with friends.
If you are definitely not going to have any sort of ceremony, even just a barbecue, I would write up about a page-long announcement. I would include an explanation of what you have done academically through your homeschool journey and what you have learned besides academics from homeschooling. If you are not following a program that is issuing your diploma, you could explain why you and your family feel that you are ready to graduate. You could also talk about what your future plans are.
This would also be a good time to specifically acknowledge everyone who helped you to get to this point: your parents, any special tutors or mentors, etc.
You could always print the announcements out on really nice paper to make it look more formal and special.
And, Congratulations!
Certainly! You're 'announcing' your graduation, not 'inviting' them to a ceremony, right? :-) Seriously, I'm sure your friends and family would be happy to receive a formal announcement of you achievement.
For wording, try flipping through one or two sites that sell announcements (there are dozens, just run a search for 'Graduation Announcements' in the search engine of your choice). Additionally, if you're going to be having them printed at a stationary shop there are usually employees who would be happy to design something personal for you. Or choose an inspiring education quote and simple add your date of graduation and name.
I also have to ditto a lot of the other posters - why not throw a little get together in lieu of a formal 'ceremony'? Buy a mortarboard and tassel to wear and let your family and friends toast your success! You've earned it!
