Teachers, par
ents and fellow
classmates,
Who would
ever have thought
that this night
would come? I
think that some of
us were beginning to wonder if we’d
be stuck in the eighth grade forever.
This has been a long year due to
all the waiting for this very night to
roll around. We’ve been talking
about graduation since September.
All of the time, effort, and money
that has been put into tonight has
made it very special.
Everyone here has made this night
possible. Our futures are starting
tonight.
Some of us have been together
since kindergarten. We’ve gone
from nap time to standardized math
tests and yearbooks. We’ve learned
to be more mature, independent and
self confident.
We’ve also somehow managed to
learn to help out students younger
than us. I know that there are going
to be some adults in this audience
who have a hard time believing that,
but it’s the truth. This covers every
thing from cleaning up their toys, to
starting computer programs to help
ing out with meal days. We even
organized a special day for all the
munchkins to play outside while
some of us were at track and field.
For the past year, we’ve been at
the top of the school. Now we prac
tically have to start from kinder
garten again! Some of us can’t wait
to get to high school, others are,
well, not so enthusiastic. We’ve all
chosen our academic and applied
courses, now there’s just the matter
of making it through the classes.
This is going to involve meeting
new challenges which will, let’s just
say, be interesting.
Not that we’re not looking for-

"I am convinced that it is of primary importance to learn more
every year than the year before. After all, what is education but
a process by which a person begins to learn how to learn."
