Graduation

It's a go! Matthew's doctor has released him to attend high school graduation on Sunday. A multitude of stimuli with all the people that are there might be too much for Matthew to handle, so he will be in a room nearby and when it is time for him to receive his diploma, he will go across the auditorium and then have to leave immediately. If you want to congratulate Matthew and greet him, the best time to do that would be at Rusk on Monday night for his birthday celebration from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Matthew will be receiving the following scholarships and awards:

Kansas City Art Institute Scholarship - $10,000, renewal every year based on an above 3.0 GPA.

Honors Diploma given by the Board of Education from Cole Camp High School. This honor is given for students who have completed the core curriculum of preparation for college for students that have received a 3.0 GPA or higher.

State College Preparatory Studies Certificate: Issued by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education of Missouri for those students who have completed a core curriculum and scored 21 or higher on the ACT.

It was Matthew's goal as he went through high school to be awarded these awards and scholarships, and we are very proud of him. He had to work hard to reach these goals and we will continue to encourage him to work equally hard to continue on the journey of recovery from brain trauma injury.

Thank you for all your support and love for Matthew!
