Graduation Planning

 I spent so much time working on my graduation planning checklist for the 17 year-old this week.  So far, here's what I finished.

Ordered Cap, Gown and Tassel

Both girls said they would be willing to wear a cap and gown for graduation pictures (even though the 14 year-old's graduation is a long time from now).  

I bought them from here: https://www.homeschooldiploma.com/graduation-apparel/high-school-caps-and-gowns.html

I bought the navy color gown/cap.

Designed and ordered her diploma

Also from www.homeschooldiploma.com  

I think I spent about $40 on the diploma, but I customized the entire thing and added stuff.

Started working on graduation announcements

I'm buying them from www.snapfish.com 

Finalized transcripts

I finished her high school transcripts.  I used Word to create them.  I printed about 12 copies, signed and dated them.  I sealed 4 copies in envelopes and signed the back.

Printed her graduation packet

I make a folder with a graduation packet for each kid when they graduate.  In it, I include transcripts, printed lists of extracurricular activities, volunteer work, sports, subjects they studied, books we've read, field trips, etc.  I figured that information would be handy in one place for when they apply to college or a job.
