by Judy Wells Deloraine School Class of 2015 celebrated graduation on Wednesday, June 24. The class included (D indicates graduated with Distinction and H indicates graduated with Honours): Gunner Christensen, Monica Crepeele, Jacquelyn Crowe, (D), Carlee Edwards (D), Madison Edwards (D), Cherith Jacobson, Ashlan Kemp (D), Nial Mills (H), Lara Teetaert (D), Mitchell Vandendorpe, Andrew Vercaigne (H), and Austin Weidenhamer. The Grand March was held at the school gym prior to the Ceremonies at the Theatre. Mr. Paul Artz was the emcee. Following the procession of graduates, he invited Superintendent Mrs. Carolyn Cory, to bring greetings from the South West Horizon School Division. “Congratulations graduates. It’s been said that by the year 2030 employers won’t be looking for workers who know facts as much as those that can problem solve think outside the box. I hope you have learned how to learn, to think critically and how to work with each other.”
Cory concluded with a quote from Martin Luther King - ‘Intelligence plus character is the goal of true education.’ Mr. Artz invited Andrew Vercaigne and Madi Edwards to give the Valedictory Address. “While reflecting on our class we realized the most important thing is how we help each other - how everyone has something unique to offer. This has made us into the people we are today. We have amazing memories. We’d like to take a moment to thank the teachers for their knowledge, time and talent, and for setting the bar high. And to our parents who helped us with everything, for their time, laughter and even tears. We’ll soon be going on to school or jobs. We hope you follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and see a path, then by all means you should follow it. Believe in all your crazy dreams, as you know there are many people who will help you along the way so that they will become a reality.” Mr. Artz invited Mr. Franklin to deliver the Principal’s message.
“I’d like to begin with a few thank yous - especially to the businesses and organizations who generously provide scholarships and awards. Over $13,000 will be presented today. On days like this, you think about your own graduation. In life, graduations are the only forward looking ceremonies. I hope your education has inspired you - to do something you love.” Franklin was inspired by a David McCullough Jr. presentation. In that presentation, McCullough spoke of how we protect and coddle our children and tell them they are special. He says - “You are not special, because if everyone is special, then no one is special.” Franklin continued, “Do what you do because you love it and believe in its purpose. The most important part of any community is its people. Deloraine’s great because people are willing to give back. You succeed with good people. Surround yourself with good people. Being a good person does make you special”. Presentation of Awards: Pre-Calculus 40S, sponsored by Morrison Agencies, presented to Madison Edwards - 81%. (Continued on Page 3)
