A graduation for Mom

After homeschooling her five children for more than 13 years, mom and teacher Allison Finch has officially “graduated.” Her husband, Robert Finch, hosted a graduation party at Caracol to mark the end of her homeschool days. Allison’s father, Jim Rath, arrived at the party with her Bellaire High School graduation cap, and she wore it proudly for the second time. The oldest Finch child is now 17, and after years of always having at least two children at home, Allison is finally experiencing some me-time. As of the beginning of this semester, Caroline (14), Henry (11), and Peter (8) attend Veritas Christian Academy. Audrey (17) is a junior at St. Thomas Episcopal School, and James (16) attends Wilson Hill Academy. Pictured (from left) are Robert and Allison Finch and Allison’s parents Susan and Jim Rath.
