Zeke Miller - Class of 2010

Zeke has started classes in general studies at St. Louis Community College - Meramec. Right now he is just getting into the college groove and checking out all the options that SLCC offers, at all of their campuses.

Zeke also recently started up his own business, a video conversion service. No website or anything yet, he's keeping it local and by referral only until he gets all of his equipment set up and all of his processes figured out, but we'll let you know when he goes nation-wide!

Unlike weddings and baby showers I don't think "graduation gift registries" exist yet, but Amazon (and others) have the next best thing: the WISHLIST.

If you would like to send Zeke a gift in recognition of his achievement, a good place to start is his

Graduation Gifts Wishlist

on Amazon.com.

Of course, gift cards to Amazon, GameStop, or the iTunes Store are always welcome, too!

Zeke is graduating from Parkway North High School, located in West St. Louis County, the home of the Vikings and the Robohobos, the school robotics team (more on them later). In his 4 years at Parkway North, he has experienced the wide variety of classes that have been available, from math and technology to the performing and fine arts. Zeke's favorites have been the math and technology courses. These fit in well with his love of video games and all things tech.

We would like to extend very special thanks to all of the great faculty and staff at PNH, especially Zeke's Ac Lab teacher Chris Preston and all who worked with Zeke. We must also give a shout out to the administrators, Jenny Marquart (Principal) and Rob Gough (grade level Principal) for providing such a great environment for Zeke, and all his classmates, to excel.

The big day is May 11, 2010. Unfortunately, the location for the Commencement ceremony has limited seating and we can't invite everyone for the graduation ceremony.

We can invite everyone to the Baccalaureate Service, though. That will be held on Monday night, May 10 at 7:00 pm in the Parkway North High gymnasium.

Here's how the principal, Jenny Marquart, describes the Baccalaureate Service:

"It is a beautiful ceremony which includes student speakers, faculty speakers who were selected by the students, final performances by senior orchestra and choir members, as well as a slide show created by members of the senior class."

From what we've heard, it is a very nice, very emotional, more informal send off for the kids (wait, can we call them kids anymore, can we?) than the actual commencement, so if you can make it by please do. Let us know that you are coming so we can keep an eye out for you.

And, of course, we will have our own celebration of Zeke's accomplishment. We're still working on the place and date, we'll let you know once we've got it figured out."
