Dear Parents of NBCOC Seniors and Seniors of 2025,
Congratulations on this momentous milestone in your lives! Our church family will be celebrating this year’s graduates by hosting a senior reception to commemorate this special time with you and your family. The 2025 graduates are: Gretchen Brown, Lilliana Kauer, Braxton Logue, Mylie Meadows, Bella Roskin, Ryan Simmons, and Sloan Wacaster.
The senior reception will be Sunday, May 4th at 5pm. Dinner will be served, and you will have time with your friends and family to congratulate your senior, take pictures, and wish them well.
What can you and your senior do to prepare?

Download the songs and upload them to the link below with your name in the title.
These songs will be used in a photo slideshow.

You can begin bringing those to Rishanne Frech and she will display them along with baskets for cards and gifts in the foyer.
☐ S4. Choose some items (mementos and pictures).
You can set them up on Saturday, May 3rd while we are decorating or before the banquet starts on Sunday, May 4th.
These pictures and mementos will be displayed in the CLC on each senior table during the banquet.
These would be things that tell a little bit about who you are and your interests, your involvements, and maybe where you are going to college if that applies.
FOR THE PARENTS:
☐ P1. Find 25-30 pictures of your senior. Due April 27th at the latest, but you can send them anytime you are ready.
You can do any of the following to get the pictures to me:
EMAIL PICTURE FILES TO rishanne.frech@comalisd.org
Upload photos to the google drive link below. Once you open the link please click on your senior’s folder and drop your photos there. Senior Photos
Give Rishanne a thumb drive or drop off the thumb drive at the church office @ 532 Comal St.
- This process takes MUCH LONGER than you think it will, so get started!
- The church office and/or Rishanne will create the slide show, so please provide digital pictures only.
- Include at least 1 baby pic, 1 senior pic, & anything in between.
- The picture file names should be numbered in the order you want them in.
☐ P2. PLEASE HELP YOUR STUDENT FULFILL THEIR ABOVE OBLIGATIONS.
☐ P3. Create a short bio for your senior. Due April 23rd.
EMAIL BIO to rishanne.frech@comalisd.org
This will be used for the program/keepsake at the reception. It should include their name, 1 picture, and 30-125 words. This is very important!!!
☐ P4. Write a blessing to read over your senior.
- This is a very special time for a senior to hear from their parents, so be encouraged to speak some meaningful words over them for all of us to hear. Please type it out so it is easy to read and practice it once or twice to check the length. It should be around 5 minutes give or take…we know how meaningful these are. At our dinner this year, you will be reading this to your senior.
I will keep in touch by email or text just to check and see how things are going. If you need a hand with anything, please ask. I am here to help! Thanks again for helping make this Sunday morning celebration and evening reception for our seniors special, and one your family and your senior will remember for a long, long time.
Blessings,
Rishanne Frech
