JAKCINT ACADEMY GRADUATION

We had a special privilege of being able to attend the Jakcint Academy Graduation on August 1st. It was an all day affair and such a great experience.  

We received an invitation from Cynthia Koranteng informing us that we were to be the "Guests of Honor".  

Arrangements were made for her husband  John to pick us up.  We were grateful for that because telling a taxi how to get there would have been challenging.  Besides, we were able to have a great visit with Elder Koranteng as we traveled to and from the event.

John and Cynthia Koranteng own this school.  

Cynthia is the Principal, CEO and runs it all.  

The Korantengs and faculty all have clothing made out of the same material but in their own style for  special events. like the graduation.  That is also a tradition for weddings and funerals. Everyone makes a dress or shirts out of a material chosen by the host.

Cynthia's family came to support and enjoy this special day!

The cadet corp was very impressive, marching in perfect formation to present the flag and taking turns at their post, standing guard much like at Buckingham Palace!

We enjoyed a wonderful program of traditional dancing, recitations and plays by each of the grades.

I may add a video later but don't know how to do that yet!

The official graduation ceremony concluded the program as each student received either a graduation diploma or an advancement certificate followed by pictures of each child with his/her parents

Thank you, John and Cynthia and all you beautiful children for a wonderful day!
