Graduation!

Congratulations to our son Rock Del Franco on his 8th Grade graduation from The Urban Institute of Mathematics on Friday, June 19.

Rock, you’ve grown into a bright and caring young man.

You are a National Junior Honor Society member who held a 90+ average all through middle school.

We know you will excel in Iona Prep high school as you continue on your quest for knowledge and education. With your hard work and dedication, you have exceeded all of our expectations.

We are so proud of you and of all of your accomplishments.

Keep reaching for the stars and keep smiling in the process.

You will always have our support and we love you more than words could ever say.

Congratulations Rock! Love, Mom, Dad and Dominick.
