Congratulations Graduates!
|
Seniors, this is an exciting time for you. Enjoy these last days and take in every moment. During graduation listen to the speeches and enjoy the slide show. Don't grumble when someone asks to take your picture; someday you will appreciate it. During the ceremony look to your left and to your right for these are your fellow classmates and friends and you will want to remember the moment. Then when it is over, give your mom, dad, grandparent, mentor, educator a hug or a fist bump and thank them for the impact they have had on your education.
It is the end of your Woodmore school days and the beginning of the next phase of your life. Go forward, and make a mark on the world. It has been a pleasure being a part of your education. Know that although you are graduating from Woodmore, you will always be a Wildcat!
