Seaforth Public School
Walton youths give valedictory address
By Bethany Black and Kyle
Griffiths
Fellow graduates, teachers,
parents. family and friends.
It truly is .a privilege to be
chosen as the valedictorians
representing the Grade 8
graduating class of 2004 at
the new Seaforth Public
School building.
Wow, it seems like only yes-
terday we were entering our
kindergarten classrooms, innocent
of the journey that lay ahead of us:
Slowly, step by step, we have
met the many changes and
challenges that were pre-
sented to us.
Graduation is a beginning
not an ending. As we close
the door to elementary
school the doors to high
school open for us. We must
always remember to never
lose sight of our goals. choose
them wisely and carefully and
then work with determination to
accomplish all that you can. Aim
higher than you believe you can
reach; and you will discover talents
you never knew you had.
Seaforth Public School has given
us many memories that we will cher-
ish the rest of our lives. Not .only
have we become more knowledge-
able but we were also given the
opportunity to participate in many
activities such as swimming, skat-
ing, skiing at Bowler Mountain and
Talisman, Camp Sylvan, Camp
Celtic and many more.
We entered kindergarten nine
years ago as strangers and over the
years we have developed friendships
we will always remember. Although
some of us will be going to different
high schools next year hopefully we
will still remain in touch. Some of
these friendships will last a lifetime.
Our class has experienced many
good times and we have also shared
sad times. It was our friendships that
saw us through all of these.
We would like to thank our
many teachers for their hard
work teaching us the basics
which have prepared us for
high school. You have also
taught us many life lessons
which we will use through-
out our lives.
Our years in elementary
School could not have been
completed without the many
volunteers who dedicated their time
for our well being.
Thanks to our parents who
have always been there with
their unconditional love and
support. You have encour-
aged us to persevere and
strive to reach our poten-
tials. And a special thank
you to Mrs. Reynolds who
always goes above and
beyond for her students.
In closing we have decided
to share a poem by Michelle
Richards called Success Has No
Limits.
There are no limits
To what you can do.
Your talents and abilities,
