\"Monday<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I use Mondays to clean out my mailbox. Today, I’m answering an urgent letter about graduation: What are some good gift ideas? Should my child attend her prom? How to write a senior tribute? If you have a child who’ll soon be graduating, you may be interested in this discussion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question: I need answers… fast!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What should we do for our senior daughter who’s graduating in June? We are thinking of a present for her. What if she does get asked to her one time senior prom? Also, I need some ideas to write a tribute to my senior for the yearbook. Please respond before 2 pm MST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks.

Answer: Just off the top of my head…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ha! You’re not giving me much time to ruminate on this topic, Mama! Of course, I know absolutely nothing about your senior or her personal tastes. But I’ll do my best to answer your questions in the order you asked them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special gift ideas for your own graduate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, let’s talk about what might be an appropriate graduation gift for your own child. My parents gave me a ring for graduation (not a class ring, just a pretty piece of jewelry they knew I\u2019d like). We\u2019ve given our kids such gifts as watches, cameras, electronics (like an iPad they\u2019d need for their college classes), or special trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve sent several of our most recent graduates to a Summit Student Conference<\/a> the summer after they graduated. This 2-week Worldview program is an excellent way to provide tools for your young adult for defending their faith, whether they are headed to college or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
