Families, friends, students, and community members celebrated the graduation of the Forest Home Methodist School Standard VI students last week. Unfortunately John was in Belmopan with Close of Service Medical and was able to attend, so I gladly went in his place.
The ceremony was held at Forest Home Methodist Church and the 16 Standard VI students were excited and very nervous. During the ceremony students received diplomas, certificates, awards, and gifts. Students spoke about their experiences and love of Forest Home Methodist School, and along with the principal spoke about John’s service and how much they appreciate the work he has done. He was even honored with a certificate, which I accepted on his behalf. At the close of the ceremony, the graduating class sang the Forest Home Methodist School Song one last time.
It was wonderful to hear how much “Sir John” has touched the lives of so many at Forest Home Methodist School. I only wish he was there to hear it himself. His work at Forest Home is truly appreciated, and it is obvious how much he will be missed. It was a beautiful celebration, and I was honored to attend.
