Graduation Ceremony 2016

Yesterday, 26 June 2014, the Onionpatch Academy held its 2014 Graduation Ceremony at the St. Paul AME Centennial Hall. Fourteen students graduated. Parents, grandparents, sibling, aunts, uncles and cousins watched as students recited the 7 Habits and performed dances and songs. Mrs. Judith Welch, the owner of the school noted that this class will hold a special place in Onionpatch history because many of the graduates were some of the school's first students including the first student ever registered and the first student present when the doors opened in August 2011. Mrs Welch urged her 'onions' to never stop learning and as they move to the next level they must remember the Onionpatch motto and strive to ever be the best. Parent, Lindsey Kipps, inspired the students with a story about Marty the Mouse who follows his dreams into space with determination. She urged them to never give up and continue to follow their dreams.
