“Time has passed so quickly..” Pdt. Yung Tik Yuk was giving some contemplation and sermon for all the parents and teachers. He said, “Time has passed so quickly, particularly for these children, they are growing up so fast”. But this is the reality of our life and we always do not pay attention to them and eventually we missed the precious moments with our children.” After the sermon has been delivered, it was time for the representative of parent to share his experience with his son. He said when his son invited him to come to his graduation, the first thing that come in his mind was the same with Pdt. Yung just said “do not to skip this great opportunity”, whereas in fact “I had to attend events outside of town, but I am sure that I can make money another day but for this opportunity will come only once in my lifetime”, he said.

“Stone Soup” Then the most exciting part of the program was come. It was the musical drama “Stone Soup” played by all kindergarten students. This drama told us about three hungry soldiers who came to a village to get some food. But the villagers didn’t want to share any food with them. Then, the soldiers created a trick by making soup from stone and cleverly persuade people in the village to add other ingredients on it. The moral of this story is teamwork and hard work with your friends in very bad condition. We can see that this drama has run very

Rev. Jason Budiprasetya delivered the sermon to ask the families to ponder the roles of teachers and parents in educating children. Many children affirm to be loved and declare to be loved, ask for forgiveness for their mistakes. So do the parents would want the affirmation that their chilren repect them and proud of them. How can we build a close relationship and strong communication between parents and children? There can be frictions between those who are close with each other. The Proverbs mentioned that
..irons sharpen irons, so do human sharpen each other.
Rev. Jason Budiprasetya was delivered the sermon
irons sharpen irons, so do human sharpen each other (Proverbs 27:17). It is only by the love of Jesus that relationship can be built among parents and children, teachers and students alongside the parents, spouses, inlaws, and other kinds of relationships can have the perfect love. One simulation of this involved a parent, a teacher, and a student which depicted that as two human stay close with God, they can be close to each other. A simple question “What can I do for you” can be one way to build the relationship.
Granting medals came next to the graduates by Mrs. Eva and grade 6t Homeroom Teachers (Mrs. Maria of 6A, Mrs. Titis of 6B, Mrs. Fini of 6C, and Mrs. Paulina of 6D). The photographs of the graduates showed up in the LCD projector along with their writing of gratitude during their study in SDH. A song “Terima kasih untuk cinta” was presented as the tribute to teachers, sang by 4 students (Tirza of 6A, Nicole of 6B, Jerry of 6C, and Justin Hugo of 6D). All the graduates then went to their parents’ seats to say their sincere thanks to parents and hugged them. Tears and joys surrounded the gym as they poured out their gratitude to each other.
