ELIZABETH GUILLORY VALEDICTORIAN, EXCEL CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

PARENTS: Michelle and Keanan Guillory

FAVORITE SUBJECT: Music, Etymology/Word Building, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Precalculus

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: Music (lots of it. Listening, playing, arranging, and composing music), sewing, baking, foreign languages, spending time with friends, arts and crafts

FUTURE GOALS:

I want to perform my music more, travel around the world, see my friends who live far away, get married, adopt a bunch of kids, and pursue whatever plan God has for my life. I want to go to college too, but my college goals are still a bit uncertain right now.

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER:

One of my favorite times of the day is in the morning during morning ‘announcements’ although there’s usually not a lot of announcements. It’s just a time for the whole class to have fun together. The teachers teach us life lessons to remember, usually related to the character trait for that day, and we do all kinds of other random things. From reading fun facts and listening to the teachers tell stories and share testimonies to running around the classroom, auctioning off pickles, singing and dancing to Father Abraham, there is no telling what fun activities the day has in store for us

WORDS OF WISDOM:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Mathew 6:33

BAILEE O’NEILL SALUTATORIAN, EXCEL CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

PARENTS: Dustin & Lisa O’Neill

FAVORITE SUBJECT: History

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:

Jr. Rodeo in Oklahoma and Arkansas(OYRA, SWAHSRA, TJRA) and an active volunteer at FBC-Hugo

FUTURE GOALS:

I plan to continue to work and rodeo.

WORDS OF WISDOM:

Trust that Jesus Christ will direct you and persevere in prayer until he does. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through him. John 14:6
