Today we held our very first Graduation Ceremony at the Threshold!
Braydin Gell (staff) is graduating from Kewaskum High School and we held a SURPRISE Graduation Party in his honor.
Braydin's mom Haeli (also works for us as a Summer Youth Instructor) was there with his cap and gown, and to offer support and big hugs. She helped orchestrate the arrival, by the way!
There were many hands making this happen! Special thanks to everyone who was part of this momentus event:
Decorations done by ADS & LINK
Balloon Arch done by Options
More details:
Of course there was a CAKE for all (enjoyed after lunch).
We presented a diploma and certificate of recognition.
We had a “master of ceremonies” giving a speech.
Afterward, Braylin played "Are You Smarter than a High School Graduate?" against Threshold clients and staff. Braydin won!
Braydin has worked in multiple programs at the Threshold including Summer Youth, Club Friendship, Special Services, and LINK. He was always willing to help out wherever he could, and has a great sense of humor! His plans for the future are to become a police officer.
Braydin, we wish you all the best in your future endeavors! We will certainly miss you here at the Threshold!
