FAQS What does the graduation fee cover?  Event space coordination, personalized cake reception, and printing costs. What do graduates usually wear?  Most graduates wear "church" clothes  with a cap, gown, and tassel.  We encourage all graduates to have at least a cap/tassel. What do parents normally say at presentation of diploma?  We have parents come up with their graduate to present the diploma.  Most parents share about the things that make them proud of their graduate, but often it is a simple handoff and hug.  Please plan to keep your presentation to 3-5 minutes.   DO NOT CONTACT the church for information about the graduation.  They are only providing our event space.  They are not handling ANY of the graduation details or group arrangements.  All questions should be directed to BHC at info@birminghamhomeschoolers.com. ABOUT THE DAY Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early to set up your displays.  In the past, parents have used presentation boards to display their graduate's accomplishments with photos and examples of their work from the school year.   Each graduate will receive about 2 feet of table space.  Space will be marked on the tables when you arrive. Please note that helium balloons are not allowed.
