Last Friday, May 22nd, a group of Leadership students, as part of their School Improvement Project, created, organized, and led an “8th Grade Send-Off” ceremony for the future Class of 2030!
The ceremony began with an opening address from Principal Mr. Adam Kedley, followed by a speech from staff-elected speaker Mr. Wes Dolphin. Each member of the 8th grade class was recognized as their name was read along with what they are looking forward to over the next 10 years. Students also received a handwritten note from a staff member and a class bracelet.
A speech was then given by selected student Ellie Auderer, followed by a video featuring some of their middle school memories. The ceremony concluded with closing remarks and a class photo.
We could not be more proud of the Leadership students who organized this event! It was such a wonderful send-off to celebrate our 8th grade students and all that lies ahead for them.
Leadership Students: Tori Kress, Gretta Hefel, Cloie McDermott, Maya Danielson, Ellie Auderer, and Ella Astgen
