I am so proud of my grandchildren, Amanda Nichole Klein and Matthew Allen Richard Klein, who graduated from the Pleasantville Baptist Academy on June 2, 2007.
Amanda was eighteen on Christmas Eve. Amanda has fun as a cheerleader, singer and volleyball player. She also won 2nd place on a science fair project and a trophy for scripture memorization.
She will be going to the Berean Baptist College in Florida in August where she will major in Elementary Education. Amanda will also tell you that she plans on being a pastor’s wife. She has a beautiful promise ring from Ben Mead who is a college student with the goal of being a minister.
Amanda told a reporter for the Marion County News that “ her parents have had the most influence on her life since they taught her character, discipline, responsibility and have always been there for her.”
My son, Mark Klein and his wife, Connie Klein, also had a son graduate this year. Matthew Allen Richard Klein. (Matthew says to use all his names or call him “Matt”. He is proud that his initials spell MARK, which is his father’s name.) Although he is more than a year younger than his sister, Amanda, he took accelerated classes to graduate early. Matt made the Who’s Who Among American High School Students, the Pleasantville Baptist Academy’s Honor Roll, and the National Honor Roll and as a Scholar at the National Society of High School Scholars. His extra curricular activities have included basketball, weight lifting, and being a Junior Firefighter with the Pleasantville Fire and Emergency Services.
In August, Matt will attend college in Sioux City towards his goal for a degree in Criminal Justice.
