Validictorian+speech

Good morning/ afternoon, staff, students, parents and fellow grade 7 graduates. I am here to welcome you to the grade 7 graduating class of Glenmerry 2009. I, Ricky Martin and ………… are the Valedictorians that are here to tell you about the memories of our life at this amazing school. I have attended this school since kindergarten and I still remember the first day clearly, with Mrs. Koshey. We started our year off in the computer lab. The last three quarters of the year were enjoyed in the new classroom. Singing and guitar playing made the year that much more fun. My favourite part of grade one was hatching the annual chicks with Mrs. Partridge. Story reading and writing was good for the imagination with Mrs. Vilene in grade two. Mrs. Minor, my grade three teacher introduced the colorful contest that we had every Wednesday, I also loved pioneer day. In grade four, telling stories with our freshly made puppets was great fun with Mr. DeWit. I also enjoyed shooting the bow and arrow at Pines Bible Camp. Two years ago when I was in grade 5, I had Mrs. Larmour. I loved the P.E. and art classes, they were always so entertaining. Last year Ms. Mauro’s grade six class was the greatest year I have ever had at Glenmerry. This was the year that Derek got a concussion because someone was running around with his eyes closed, and ran right into him, although Derek went home, we found out it was a minor injury, and the time Tyrus was talking to me and ran right into a pole (it probably knocked some sense into him). At recess and lunch last year we played a lot of soccer. In Ms. Mauro’s class my favorite part had to be art and social studies because she taught us in a very creative way. In Grade 7 Mrs. McQuiggan made us feel right at home by being one of the boys. Mr. Kinghorn is a fabulous Language arts, Personal Planning and P.E. teacher, he always lets you vote to decide what you want to do. Mrs. Boucher was awesome. Music was always so fun with her. Mrs. Calder was our French teacher and although she was gone for along time she always made time to play games. Mrs. Sidley is the librarian and also our Social Studies teacher, I liked her creativity in Greek day. I can’t say enough about Ms. Reid who was our student teacher; I liked her fun and unique way of teaching. My favorite memory of grade 7 was the time when Tyrus got pantsed right in front of the music room, boy did everyone have a good laugh. For future grade 7’s I suggest to do your homework hand in all of your work study for tests and remember that Mrs. McQuiggan loves chocolate. Let us not forget about what a great job Mrs. Catalano did as principal of Glenmerry Elementary. By: Ricky Martin
