OKAY, OKAY! I will try again. I have until Thursday, so maybe, just maybe I can come up with something new instead of having to copy mine from last year, but with a few minor changes.
All right, I do believe I have edited down to the final copy.
As we come together
on this day before the last,
we give honor to the 2005-2006
Graduating Third Grade Class.
There are several of you students
who started at the age of three
Early Childhood became your growing space
a place where you learned to believe.
Other students enrolled
when you were only four,
Pre-K opened up a brand new world
where each of you learned to explore.
Yet most of you Third Graders started
in Kindergarten after you turned five,
making this year's class quite unique
doing your best to be successful, to strive.
Many things have happened
throughout your learning years,
happy, sad and in between
with so many smiles and yes, even tears.
Moms and Dads and Teachers too
were standing by your side,
you may not have always realized
that they think of you with pride.
Now you go onto Intermediate School
conquering Fourth Grade will be your goal,
everything that you have learned at Hermes
are the things you are expected to know.
Everyone who has been a part of your life
has always wanted the best for you,
learning the difference between right and wrong
is a major lesson you were taught at school.
It's always difficult to say good-bye
especially after all these years,
of watching each and everyone of you
climb mountains while facing your fears.
During this time of remembering you
and all that you have achieved,
please don't forget the most important thing
in yourself you must always believe.
Moms and Dads and Grandparents too
please give your child a hug,
encourage them throughout their lives
be there to give them a nudge.
It takes friends and families
to properly help raise a child,
to be a part of your child's success
makes every moment of effort worthwhile!
Now the time has come to say, "So long
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, Good-bye,"
please take excellent care of yourself
never giving up as you try and try and try!
