I would first like to take this moment to give a special thanks t o Dr. Raupers, members of the board of education, Mr. Carroll, Mr. Clancy, honored guests, parents, family, and friends for being here on this special occasion.

Congratulations to the  May Students of the Month ACADEMICS ELLIE DeIANNI - Ellie has done outstanding work this year in  her A.P. Psychology and U.S. History 2H classes.    She strives to  improve her studies in these challenging and demanding classes.   Ellie has a good sense of commitment in all her classes.   She is  not a quitter and does not get discouraged with minor setbacks.  Ellie is a team player and is goal-oriented. ATHLETICS COLIN SHERMAN – Colin ran as hard as he could so that the  boy’s team could qualify for the 4 x 800 relay at the State Group Championships.  This is a brand new event and Colin’s efforts helped  us create some new school history.  Mostly a quiet leader on the  team, Colin lead through his actions by sacrificing for his teammates and helping the team improve to 9:05 from 9:21. If the team  advances to the State Meet of Champions, it will be because of  Colin's hard work and dedication.
