MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Christian Academy Class of 2024 may not have been large — four now-former students walked the stage — but it made a loud roar.
Grads and their families gathered at The Den — the school’s gym — for the ceremony that included family members, school officials, at least two active duty U.S. Marines and a great deal of faith.
During the event, speakers encouraged the grads to go forth and remember that they’re Lions and to have faith in God and express His love in everything they do.
Full coverage of the graduation ceremony will be published in this Wednesday’s edition of the Columbia Basin Herald.
