Congratulations to My "Master"!!

At least that's what Trevor's been trying to get me to call him the past few days... :)

Trevor graduated today from Baker University with his Masters of Science in School Leadership (a.k.a. Administration). We were so excited for him to finish up this program! Hopefully he'll have a little more free time now with no classes and no papers to write. He's looking forward to applying for Assistant Principal jobs sometime in the next few years.

Here's a few pictures of the day:

Baker University has bagpipe players for the procession... 100_2526

Trevor's parents and his sister Heather came to show their support...

Congratulations Trevor! I'm so PROUD of all your hard work!
