Graduation Activities
For the past 11 years, it has been exciting to see the growing participation in the FPEA Statewide Graduation Ceremony. What began as a vision has flourished into an exciting event providing fun and fellowship for homeschool seniors across the Sunshine State as well as a professional, momentous occasion as FPEA graduates enter the next phase of their lives.
    Current and former members of the FPEA Board of Directors humbly express their gratitude to the many volunteers who have made the ceremonies a reality. The planning and preparation for each event continues to be a detailed, defined commitment. 

    As the number of home educators statewide continue to grow, so does Graduation. In order to keep the main focus on the heart of the ceremony, the Board has revised and updated the Graduation weekend activities and schedule. 

    One major addition will be a senior class charge and encouragement session led by guest speaker John Stonestreet. Whereas most traditional commencements feature this charge during the ceremony itself, the FPEA ceremony has always devoted this time to multimedia introductions of each graduate. To make time for the addition, the charge and encouragement session will take place on Friday evening, replacing the talent show. 

    Convention weekend is packed with great seminars, workshops and activities, and Graduation is a vital part of that experience. Those graduating want their family members and friends to share their excitement. To better serve the graduates and their families in consideration of their time demands, the dance will be combined with the post-ceremony buffet, with the buffet taking place before the dance. 

    The FPEA Board rejoices with those who have chosen to be a part of Graduation. We will work diligently to assure that Graduation weekend is an experience the graduates and their families will remember for years to come.

    On behalf of the Board, congratulations to the FPEA Class of 2008!

    The FPEA Statewide Graduation Ceremony is a time to celebrate Florida homeschool graduates as they proudly march down the aisle, marking a huge milestone in their education. Only FPEA members are eligible to participate — another great reason to join the FPEA! 

    A dinner buffet immediately follows the ceremony. The cost is $27 for adults and $18 for children ages 6-12 (price includes tax and service charge). Children 5 and under are free! 

    The Graduation experience is more than the ceremony, though; it’s a weekend filled with activities for the graduates and their families, all held while the Convention takes place. For information, e-mail graduation@fpea.com.
