Graduation Information Packet

          For more than a decade, it has been exciting to watch the annual FPEA Statewide Graduation Ceremony grow in size and scope. What began with a handful of students has become a weekend-long extravanganza of fun and fellowship for hundreds of homeschooling seniors along with their family members and friends. Graduation weekend has become a “destination event” befitting the honor due our FPEA graduates as they mark this milestone in their parent-directed education. 

          As the number of home educators across Florida continues to grow, as does the Convention and Graduation weekend, it becomes an increasing challenge to keep Graduation running smoothly in a manner that best serves the graduates. With the Convention being packed with great seminars, workshops and activities of its own, and with Graduation weekend being a vital event held in conjunction with the Convention, it has become increasingly difficult for family members and friends to share the experience with the graduates 

          Thus, the FPEA Board of Directors has made some schedule changes for the 2010 Graduation weekend. The main change is that the ceremony, traditionally held on Saturday night, will take place on Sunday morning. Graduation organizers have discovered that the bulk of Graduation participants stay at the Convention host hotel through Sunday morning anyway, so changing the ceremony day and time will give them and the organizers more flexibility in attending and planning Graduation events. 

          With this in mind, the Saturday buffet dinner and dance will become a pre-Graduation event staged at an earlier time and at a more relaxed pace. This in turn will cause the Saturday rehearsals for the Sunday ceremony to be less of a strain on already-extended Graduation participants 

          A buffet luncheon will be held following the Sunday ceremony. Also, the charge to the graduates, held on Friday night last year, will be restored to the ceremony itself. This will open up more time for other activities throughout Graduation weekend.

          Homeschool graduates have receivd the very best of what academics has to offer: time, commitment, unconditional love and parental encouragement. Their Graduation ceremony and weekend activities should reflect this. Therefore, the FPEA Board looks forward to your participation in this annual event as we do everything we can to make your weekend a memory you’ll cherish for a lifetime. 

          If you have questions about this year’s changes to Graduation, please e-mail graduation@fpea.com. Also, Graduation registrants will receive a packet of information with detailed descriptions of all the events taking place throughout the weekend, as well as the deadlines and policies concerning participation. 

Congratulations to the FPEA Class of 2010!
