Photos: Onionpatch Academy Graduation
The Onionpatch Academy held its 2014 Graduation Ceremony on Thursday [June 26] at the St. Paul AME Centennial Hall where fourteen students graduated.
Parents, grandparents, sibling, aunts, uncles and cousins watched as students recited the 7 Habits and performed dances and songs.
Mrs. Judith Welch, the owner of the school noted that this class will hold a special place in Onionpatch history because many of the graduates were some of the school’s first students including the first student ever registered and the first student present when the doors opened in August 2011.
Mrs Welch urged her ‘onions’ to never stop learning and as they move to the next level they must remember the Onionpatch motto and strive to ever be the best.
Parent, Lindsey Kipps, inspired the students with a story about Marty the Mouse who follows his dreams into space with determination. She urged them to never give up and continue to follow their dreams.
Graduates included Marcus Allers, Ava Simons, Nasir Beckham, Djimin O’Connor, Tylin Norton, Jeon Wolfe, Sarai Minors, Noah Gibbons, Nalae West-Lowe, Kiahz Thompson, Chaise Pimental, ZaRyah Holman, Jamarion Dill and Justin Yeo.
