Enoch Daniel Tarr wrote the song, “Education is Better Than Silver & Gold” for UDS.
One of our computer students, Enoch Daniel Tarr, from 2016 wrote a song to promote Uniting Distant Stars Vocational Training Center. Enoch is 16 years old and wanted to express his gratitude for our programs through music.
Our creative and talented board member, Anna Bertch, created a music video of Enoch’s song with photos of all our courses. Please enjoy listening to this uplifting song that will get you moving with the music.

We announced in our February 24th, 2018, eNewsletter that the UDS commencement ceremony would be held on March 3rd. The students held an emergency meeting that day to ask to reschedule graduation March 24th. They needed more time to plan for their special day.
Graduation Medal
Our students are extremely proud of their achievements and they want to commemorate their success in many different ways. They agreed to pay a graduation fee to cover the costs of the items they will receive. Each student will wear a blue cap and gown with a gold tassel; matching our colors. They have coordinated a uniformed dress code to wear under their gowns. They will receive a diploma inserted a folder with UDS insignia on the front cover. They will also receive this medal that they can wear with pride.
This day was made extra special by a few of our donors who helped with the reception following the graduation ceremony. You will receive photos and stories of this important day that you made possible by being a Classroom Hero for our students. Thank you!
