Sneak peek: Yenicca's Graduation Mini
This shoot meant so much to Brad and me. Yenicca was among the second group of 3rd graders that Brad taught here at St. John. Then, when he made the switch to 1-12 art/yearbook, Yenicca's class was the only one to have Brad as their art teacher for all four years of high school. Not only did Yenicca spend many hours in the art room as the gifted artist she is, but she also worked as a teacher's aide for Brad for two years. Needless to say, there was a long hug and teary good bye at the end of this shoot, and we made sure to reiterate that this is really just a "See you later."
We're proud of all that Yenicca has accomplished in high school. Her mortar board translates, "For my parents who came here with nothing and gave me everything," and as her stoles note, she is a first generation graduate and a member of National Honor Society.
Congrats, Yenicca! We are eager to see where life takes you, and we have no doubt that your future is bright.
