It has been just like the hit game show Survivor. Only instead of being on the show for 40 days ours lasted nine amazing years! We have outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted East Wawanosh. Instead of having one ultimate survivor though, we leave with the grand prize of 16 fantastic friends and so many wonderful memories. In kindergarten the khool seemed like our deserted island. But through the years we got to know each other and share fond memories. That school become our second home. Our friendships at East Wawanosh grew and have become strong. We have shared so many memories together: playing sports, during class, field trips and by just hanging out. We will never forget the friendships we have made. We couldn't have survived school without the teachers. They taught us the basics of surviving in the world (like reading and writing), but they also taught us how to speak French, how to perform excellent plays, how to get along with others, how to have fun, and other skills to prepare us for the future. We also cannot forget the chiefs of our tribe, our principals. They were the ones who kept the school under control and they all did a great job. There was also Mrs. Robinson who does an incredible job at being a secretary, doing emergency first aid, and by just being a good friend. Our first ride on the bus was not as bad as we had feared because of the helpful bus drivers. They made sure that we got to and from school safely and that we always got off at the right stops. They were the ones who made sure that the bus rides were always fun for us. But we wouldn't be here tonight without the love and support of our parents. They were the ones who helped us with our homework when we were stuck, who drove us to sporting events, who made our lunches in the morning and who took pictures of us when we won awards or were just having fun. This past summer we lost a dear friend, Mark McCracken, in an accident. We will always remember him by his smile, his kindness. his funny j'kes, his great sense of humour, and his love for vehicles. Kathy, all of our lives have been blessed by knowing Mark and we are glad you are here with us tonight.
