Summary: It's Graduation Time!<br> We're heading out for our fifth high school graduation (our homeschooled son will be in the ceremony at the North Carolinians for Home Education "Thrive!" conference). It's a milestone that doesn't grow stale even the fifth time around!<br> <br> It's good to see our children growing into the first steps of independence, as they graduate from high school and move off to college or their first job and apartment. We've found several unexpected benefits to that transition, though - things that benefit not only the graduate but also their younger siblings and our family as a whole. Join us as we unwrap some of these surprising gifts that come after the tassel's turned!<br> Upcoming Events<br> Come by and see us at one of these upcoming conventions!<br> <br> May 30-June 1 - Winston-Salem, N.C.<br> <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://www.nche.com/thrive/">Thrive!
