EBJ Program

What did they get when it was over?

Students in the EBJ program celebrated their graduation at a farewell certificate ceremony. There, they dined on a top-notch classic American meal of fried chicken, corn bread, mashed potatoes, green beans, lemonade, iced tea, apple pie and ice cream. Teachers reviewed the students’ presentations and the students received their certificates of completion.

Congratulations everyone!
