“What does today’s graduation signal?” Mrs. Miller asked the students. “It is an official way to recognize that you are taking steps into the next stage. You are, as we say at Collegiate, ‘Crossing the bridge to the Middle School!’
“You had some great times this year, and maybe you had some tough times, but you persevered and you succeeded. You're ready for that next step. I ask you as you prepare for this next step to do a few things:
* Always be kind to others.
* Remember to do the right thing, even if no one is looking.
* Do your best knowing that you're investing in yourself.
* And finally, enjoy time with your family who loves you.
“There are great things coming your way as you cross the bridge, and just as your parents are proud, each one of you should feel proud of yourself.”
Congratulations, rising 5th Graders!
