Graduation Preperation!

Seems like there is always a lot of work to do before graduation. However, this year we had even more to do. The caps and gowns that we ordered did NOT arrive. God Bless Joyce who called a bunch of PIBC alumni that lived on island to scrounge up enough caps and gowns for each of the 9 graduates participating in the ceremony. However it left us with no tassels. Joyce found some royal blue tassel key chains. They were much smaller than regular tassels and we also had to find a way to attach them to the hat. While some of us were doing that Joyce and Urte ironed the graduation robes that Joyce found.
Anne Stinnette found ribbon at home in her craft closet and they created fun tassels from the key chains that Joyce bought.
Needless to say everyone was scrambling and working really hard up until one hour before the ceremony to make it a success.
In the end no one knew the difference.
