On Sunday, May 21, 2006, First United Methodist Church celebrated Senior Day. It is church custom to honor our graduating seniors with a luncheon and shower them with gifts. Our graduating seniors are Davin Lafitte and Jenna Richardson. While we celebrate their achievement and "send them off" in style, it is a bittersweet moment because we love them and will miss them very much.

There is always a feast at Senior Day!

 

Davin always listens to his mother's advice

 

Lots of people waiting to get to the food, but the line moved rapidly
 

LaDawn Leasman waits patiently 
 

Evan and Brennan Karr practice for their senior day that will come more quickly than they can imagine
 

The Bookers help themselves
 

Edward Robinson, Chili Glover, Winky Washburn, and Beverly McCoy finally reach the food
 

Titter and Harold Hogan were at the dessert table the whole time
 

Gerry Rydman looks on as Sarah and Jenna Richardson eat. Michael Snowden came to offer moral support
 

Michael and Davin eat together
 

 

Anne Bean reminisce about their days in high school; except they cannot remember that far back
 

Paul Hughes and Ray Armstrong finally get to the food. I guess the oldest go last
 

We had some special guests that day. Rusty and LeDawn Leasmand and their children, Katie and Jillian
 

The Hughes family joined in the fun. Ben Hughes is also graduating this year. Ben, Sam, Michael and Natalie were not really caught by surprise by the photographer. Davin and Jenna could not wait any longer before opening their gifts.
 

Let's see. Who got the most and the best?
 

Gerry Rydman, "Where's my gifts?"
 

Davy tried to talk Jenna and Davin out of their gifts. The Hughes brothers are oblivious to the rest of the party.
 

Jenna and Davin bask in the glory as Ben looks on
 

The 3 grads together. The two boys look sad because they do not want to leave Newton High School. Or they cannot believe that the school is letting them out with a diploma.
