Annual Day Speech

Families and friends welcome to Montgomery Village Middle School 8th grade promotional ceremony. Today we embark on a new chapter of our lives as we end our middle school careers. We’ve spent the past three years of our lives in this wonderful place. We were given the opportunity to grow and learn. Our teachers, one of our biggest supporters, the ones we have built relationships with. Our teachers have seen us grow. They have been our guiding hands throughout our middle school career. The teachers in this school deserve the world. They motivate us each and every one of us each day. Most of us were able to mature throughout middle careers. We’ve grown aware of our surroundings. We’re all well aware of what’s to come as we open the next chapter

First off I would like to congratulate everyone for making it this far. I would like to thank my classmates, my friends, and my family. I especially want to thank our teachers, for always supporting and encouraging us. If it weren’t for the people who support us daily, we would not be where we are today. I would like everyone to turn to their families, and teachers to thank them for all that they have done for us.

VI. When I was born he taught me to be the strongest person I could be and to do my absolute best at everything I try.

I am delighted to announce that I am running for the presidential position of Science National Honors Society, which has truly been one of the most active clubs at Clements High School this year! In doing so the club has genuinely lived up to its motto of "Promoting Science, Service, and Leadership". Hearty congratulations to all the current officers for successfully re-establishing the SNHS standards at Clements High School after a year of hardships. From the establishment of Pat Cave to volunteering at Westbury Community Garden, active involvement in SNHS has given me a rigorous introduction to application of scientific concepts to real life problems. At the same time, this club has taught me how to sincerely appreciate nature, specifically

September 9th started like any other day, but it didn’t take long before it was the strangest day I’d had in awhile. I came to school at 7 am since it was early in the year, and I still was adjusting to my new classes and new students. The new year was one I was especially looking forward to. I had just won the Teacher of the Year award after only my third year and my students and I all created a bond.

Our classmates and teachers are so warm-hearted and cheerful! Everyone here enjoys the great ambience of growing freely while faces challenges.

Let me take you back to a time filled with pure joy fueled by a foundation of knowledge. For most, Valley Road Elementary School, appears to be simply a school. Yet its meaning is beyond that straightforward of a definition and much more lies within the walls. Valley Road will forever have a place in my heart as I recall all the great memories from the recorder concerts, book fairs, halloween parades, and cake walks. I have gained an immense amount of knowledge from my time there. Overall, it allowed me to aspire to dream and shaped me into the leader you see today. I found passions that drove me to attain such outstanding accomplishments and successes.

The warm breeze blows past me as I open the door to the Sweetwater Middle School. Shouts and hoots of excitement about the New Year came from behind me as I speak amid my social circle. It was going to be a wonderful year with delightful students and teachers. By the end of the year I knew to have been mistaken to think it would work out for me.

Imagine a place where everyone is accepted for who they are. A place where kids can discover their true calling and begin to pursue it. A place where the whole community is united in a bond of friendship and trust. No, this place is not heaven, it is South Pointe. I can’t believe that three years have gone by so fast. Three years of learning how to deal with so many classes. Three years of meeting so many great teachers that changed my way of thinking. Three years of making new friends and discoveries that have made my time here at South Pointe so memorable. Here, at South Pointe, I evolved not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. It helped me learn that it’s never too early to find out what your true passion or career goal

“A man is loved not for how tall he stands, but for how often he bends to help, comfort, and teach.” (Anonymous) This is quote sits on my dad’s nightstand in a brown, oak frame. It pictures a little boy and his dad kneeling to help tie his son’s shoes. I remember when my dad knelt to help me also tie my shoes, but through the years my dad has fulfilled this quote. He has helped me, comforted me, and taught me. That is why today I would like to tell you about his impact on my values, faith, work ethic, and goal setting.

Good morning, Class of 2020. First and foremost, I’d like to congratulate all of you on a successful and memorable middle school career. To what can we attribute our success, and how can we define it? Yes, our clubs, sports teams, and music ensembles achieved phenomenal rankings, and our students perform exceptionally. However, Robert Muller once wrote: “What the world needs most is openness: Open hearts, open doors, open eyes, open minds, open ears, open souls”.

Here's to the past 5 years with Duke. The years made up of learning (and relearning) each other, challenging each other, and qualifying for the AQHYA World Show. Each year was even better than the last. Every hardship and victory we've experienced makes me that much more excited for the years together to

BDA has a recognition program that encourages employees, their peers and managers to acknowledge each other’s “wins”. Under Jay’s direction these accomplishments are posted on the intranet site as well as announced in team meetings and companywide meetings. This serves two tasks one, to identify employees who provide excellent work and two, to encourage others to step up so they too can get recognition from BDA and their peers.

Second year arrived within the seemingly shortest time I could imagine. Reuniting with my friends, I was determined that even if my advisory had somewhat changed, I would make the most out of my year. “I still feel like a first year,” I told my friend-Selena-multiple times, receiving a chuckle in response. New first years were streaming the school, and I began to feel a new responsibility. This responsibility buzzed in my mind like a bee until carried out. I was now a leader. Although the opportunity was a somewhat rare occurrence, I took every chance with a great pride that warmed me from my head to toes. Yet, this
