GED Graduation Ceremonies

All of us in adult education programs throughout the West Piedmont region believe in celebrating every one of our GED Success Stories. That’s why our localities hold graduation ceremonies to honor their local grads. As the 2008-2009 school year comes to a close, all of us who work with the GED program in the West Piedmont region would like to congratulate all of our GED recipients. We applaud you for a job well done! We also would like to acknowledge and thank your families and friends for supporting you while you were pursuing your credentials.

To all of our GED recipients:  congratulations and best wishes for a prosperous future! We are proud of you for making the commitment to your goal and sticking to it. Please don’t stop learning; let your new credential be the stepping stone to other things.

Race to GED Poker Run

Stacey Wright, Program Manger of WPRAE, presents Big Bird and Paige a plaque of appreciation.

If you didn’t ride with us for our 3rd annual Race to GED Poker Run, then you missed out on a terrific time! A very special thanks goes out to Big Bird and Paige of Big Bird Big Twins, our official sponsor. We couldn’t have done this without their leadership. Thanks also to the Fraternal Order of Eagles for hosting the celebration at the end of the ride; we greatly appreciate their hospitality. Thanks to the Spittin’ Kitties, an awesome band, for providing crowd pleasing music and entertainment. Lastly, a tremendous thank you to everyone who rode with us - from age 4 to 70 -

David Mosteller and Zachery Jones take a break at Lover's Leap with other riders. Zachery is 4 and David is, well, more than 4.

your generosity of spirit is inspiring.

Listening to the Spittin' Kitties was the perfect way to end a wonderful day.
