The Hidden Lake Trail

Good Morning, Mrs. Williams Jones, Mrs. Babb, Mrs. Semper, Mr. Heaton, 8th grade teachers, families, friends, and the graduating 8th grade class. Thank you, for that very kind introduction, (INSERT NAME OF PERSON WHO INTRODUCED ME). And thank you, all for being here today at our graduation to celebrate our achievements and success. Most of you might know me, but for those who don’t, I am Jassnjot Kaur. I have been attending PS124 for nine years and I’m honored to speak to you today as your Valedictorian. Today is a very special and memorable day for not just me, but for all of us which includes us graduating students, our proud parents, and our pleased teachers.

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.

Dear administrators, teachers, parents, beloved friends, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 8th grade graduation. It’s a pleasure to be standing in front of you today on this beautiful day to express the happiness we all feel.

The easiest and more expensive route to the gold fields was by boat upstream from the mouth of the Yukon in western Alaska. The most difficult route was the "All Canadian Route" from Edmonton and overland through the wilderness.

outside of Fairbanks, a truck driver picks up a hitchhiker on the side of the road named Alex. Alex tells the truck driver that he is from South Dakota and he wants a ride to Denali National Park. Alex tells the truck driver Gallien who's an electrician that he wants to "walk deep into the bush and live off the land for a few months". Gallien thought Alex was a "delusional visitor to the Alaskan frontier". During their two-hour drive, Gallien thinks that Alex is intelligent and thoughtful. Gallien notices that Alex doesn't have the equipment to live in the wilderness for several months. Gallien tries his best to try and convince Alex mind, but Alex doesn't listen. Alex plans on following the Stampede Trail, a trail that is an unmarked route

Starting from county road 550, drivers will take Junctions Creek road which is on county road 204, then they will take a right onto county road 205, which goes around Turtle Lake and then ¼ of a mile the road will turn left into Hidden Valley. Once in Hiding Valley drivers will see two different mountains one of the left and one of the right side of the road. On the left side is a mountain that has a white band of rock (figure 12). This is called the Wingate sandstone also known as the Wingate Formation. The Wingate Sandstone was deposited in the early Jurassic (figure 9a). The Wingate Formation is estimated to be approximately 200 million years old (United States, 2014). On the right side of the road the Wingate is seen at the top of a small mountain. Under the Wingate formation is the Chinle Formation. This formation is very recognizable based on the red color. Additionally, this formation was named by a geologist by the name of Herbert E. Gregory who studied at Yale University. He was the first to name and describe the upper Triassic including the Chinle Formation (figure 9b) (Uncompahgre, 2014).

Furthermore, I do not regret a single part of this year, and even parts of eighth grade I was dreading, such as the National History Day project, turned out to be wonderful learning experiences that I genuinely enjoyed participating in. Thank you, teachers for continuing to find ways to encourage our further learning. Thank you, fellow classmates for helping me and making me smile. Thank you, Mrs. Arzola, Mrs. Chung, and all of the South Pointe staff for investing in so many new programs. And finally, thank you to the whole South Pointe community for supporting each other as we all continued to grow together and find out what our true passions are. I am both excited and extremely nervous for my journey into high school, and I can only hope to find another school as great as this one, that will continue to shape our lives just as South Pointe has. So, as we exit the grounds today and move onto high school, I can’t help but think that we will all reconvene here when our children will have the privilege of walking in our

In July 2016, I had a wonderful day planned. My girlfriend, Audrey, and I were prepared to spend a full day at Lincoln State Park. After eating breakfast at Denny’s, we pulled into the entrance of the state park. With our swimsuits on and backpacks strapped, the hiking began. To say the least, we had a long, long hike with minor incidents including a small snake that caused me to scream like a little girl and a tower we climbed even though I am afraid of heights. To wrap up the day, we swam in the lake infested with little, microscopic minnows and took our turn at canoeing, which ended up getting us stuck in the middle of the lake. All in all, the day of adventures with Audrey was relaxing and refreshing, but unfortunately, the excitement was

Very Reverend Edward Quinlan, Sister Mary Anne, clergy, members of the Board of Directors, administration, faculty, staff, parents, family members, and friends. Good evening and welcome to the graduation ceremony for Bishop McDevitt High School’s Class of 2017. On behalf of my classmates, I would like to thank you all for the encouragement and guidance you have given us, as we finish these years with pride, integrity, and respect for both ourselves and for each other. Most importantly, thank you to our parents. Without your endless love, hugs, and care, we would not be donning these blue caps and gowns, ready to receive the diplomas that you have helped us earn.

Good morning, my name is Jacqueline Heitmann and I am currently a 8th grader at St. Rose of Lima. As of tonight, we will be graduating into high school, a new step in our journey. Before I begin, I'd like to give big "Thank You" on behalf of my class to all of our faculty, staff, parents, sponsors, and everyone who was involved in our St. Rose experience. You may not have known it, but each and everyone of you has played a huge part in our daily lives, and we want you all to know that.

We are all leaving the nest and flying in different directions. Some of us will move on to a school just across campus, while others will leave to a school thirty minutes away from here. I know we are all anxious and excited to be leaving the building that some of us have been practically living in since kindergarten. I have created so many memorable moments here that I will never forget. Today, I ask you to look around you. Who do see before you? I see parents that have worked hard to give us the opportunity to learn and are now so proud of our growth. I see teachers who have taught us so much more that just Algebra or English. Then, I see us, the formal leaders of the school. We are known as the eight graders, but I see us as a giant 40 person family. We are united by the common factor of our graduation. So today as we receive our much-coveted diplomas in our navy cap and gowns, I ask you to indulge in these last following days with your fellow

Good Morning and Welcome Distinguished Guests, family, and friends of our Graduating Class, it is an honor to have you join us this morning for such a wonderful occasion.

We didn’t get here on our own. That is why we thank our classmates, families, teachers, counselors, and administrators for supporting us throughout this journey. Most importantly, I thank and glorify God for giving us endless opportunities. I hope tonight is a night to remember because it marks the start of something new. After tonight, we gotta go our own ways because high school wasn’t meant to last forever. Right here, right now, it’s time to break free from dress code and standardized tests. As we go our separate ways, let us continue to support one another. I know our teachers are still here to help, whether with college coursework or advice for our futures. We can step into the world confidently because we have solid

Now on behalf of all of us graduating seniors, I'd like to thank all of the parents for all of the
