It is with great honour that we
stand here tonight as members of the
Brussels Public School 1998/99
Grade 8 graduating class and as
valedictorians. We have been
through so much together that there
is no end to this list. Beginning with
losing our teeth and learning how to
tie our shoes, to acting like responsi
ble students and going on a three-
day trip to Ottawa.
As representatives of the Grade 8
graduates we think we speak for
everyone when we say we are excit
ed about our big transition from pub
lic school to high school, although
we will always cherish, and treasure
those memorable moments that
occurred at Brussels Public School
during our elementary years.
Do you know what 185 days times
nine years is? Just a second ... that
would be 1665. Anyway, that is
approximately how many days we
have spent together at BPS with our
friends, teachers, and helpers. We
would like to take this time in this
precious celebration to thank those
who have guided us along the way.
First of all we would like to thank
those who have taught us what we
know to this very day, the teachers.
Through the years they’ve always
been there when there was some
thing wrong, either between friends
or with a tough math question. Even
though there have been many
changes in the Brussels Public staff
memories
each one has played an important
role in our educational experience.
We know that we are at a difficult
age and cause you lots of headaches,
but we will remember and think of
you often, as we venture on to high
school. We are also thrilled to know
about Mrs. B's little secret/as we
were scared we might have turned
you off from having children!
Along with the teachers our sup
portive parents should be thanked as
well. They have been our under
standing leaders as they assisted us
towards success. Of course not all of
the time did it seem that they were
helping us choose the right path.
Don't you remember that nagging?
“You're not going out with your
friends until you get your homework
done!”
I guess now as we reflect on our
years we realize that all that hard
work was for the better, and it will
pay off in the future.
As a new millennium approaches
everyone is thinking about the
future. We too think a lot of the
future although we can’t decide
what to do. We also daydream about
what our classmates might grow up
to become.
One day one of us will be walking
down the street when we happen to
see a bright sign that reads
“Shauna’s Hairstyling”, either that
or she’ll be swimming with the
