Last week I had the honor of seeing many of our seniors go through the process of Convocation.
Convocation is pretty special to Longwood, signifying the start of the school year. This being the beginning of the end for the senior class. Each senior designates someone else to decorate their cap for them.
In the words of Longwood:
"Each senior asks an underclassman to serve as his/her little brother or
sister (capper). The capper decorates the senior's mortarboard with
mementos of the senior's Longwood experience and "caps" his/her senior
at the appropriate time in the ceremony."
It really was a moving experience, the speakers literally gave me chills. It was held outside for the first time this year on our gorgeous Lancaster lawn. The seniors will graduate at the other end, Wheeler Lawn in May.
I made my Big's (Shannon) cap and it was a lot of fun. It really allows everyone's personalities to shine through on such a special day.
