how to get date from a form submission

I'm working on a class app in meteor that you take the class then take a test. If you pass the test, you get a certificate. I am having issues with getting the pass date on the certificate. 

import moment from 'moment';

Template.SingleCertificate.helpers({
    passDate: function(){
        const id = FlowRouter.getParam('id');
        const classC = ClassC.findOne({_id:id});
    }
});


export const ClassC = new Mongo.Collection('classc');

ClassCSchema = new SimpleSchema({
    passDate: {
        type: Date,
        optional: true
}

This code displays the current date and not the date the test was passed. The date is stored in the DB in the collection (schema). How can I change this code to retrieve the tests pass date instead of the current date?

I figured out the answer:

passDate: function(){
    const id = FlowRouter.getParam('id');
    const certificate = ClassC.findOne({_id:id});
    const passDate = certificate.passDate;
      return moment(passDate).format('MM/DD/YYYY');
}

I needed to get the certificate ID, then the certificate, then I could get to the data.
