The National Senior Sendoff will give families an opportunity to commission their high school senior for the journey ahead during this global pandemic.
FAITH NEWSWIRE – Arvada, CO— High school seniors have waited for these special moments for 12 long years. They’ve worked hard and overcome many challenges. This is THEIR TIME to celebrate this significant academic accomplishment. The Class of 2020 will be the first class prohibited from celebrating the memory-making milestones so many of us have taken for granted.
In response, Greg Stier, Founder of Dare 2 Share (and father of a high school senior), Faith Christian Academy (where his teens attend school), and interlinc (producers of the popular ConGRADulations! music-media grad gift) are teaming up to provide an event to encourage and inspire high school seniors and their families during this time of global crisis. The National Senior Sendoff is the official streaming event of the ConGRADulations! Class of 2020 Gift Project.
The National Senior Sendoff…An inspirational virtual event for high school seniors and their families during the Pandemic will be held on MAY 28th, 6:00 – 7:00 pm MDT.
Gabrielle Odom, a high school senior from Minnetonka High School who has spoken at many national events, will be doing the senior address at The National Senior Sendoff. She said, “A global pandemic will not stop us seniors from changing the world for God!” Greg Stier, who will deliver the keynote address, said, “These young people are living out history right now, so they might as well be inspired to go out and make history for the glory of God!”
In addition to addresses from Gabrielle and Greg, the evening will include encouraging remarks from multiple Christian musicians, artists, and professional athletes. Grammy Award winning Christian music artist TobyMac, who will be sharing words of encouragement at the NSS said, “I know the Class of 2020 has looked forward to a prom, spring sports, and graduation. Everything’s changed. But where there’s change and hard times, there is God and He is going to get us through this.”
The National Senior Sendoff will end with a time of prayer that will allow the families of seniors to commission them (“send them off”) for the mission God has for them.
