Celebration of Excellence


This week Raymond High School held its annual "Celebration of Excellence".  I enjoy this event and the opportunity to see some of the amazing work done by our students.  Every department was represented.  Some of what I saw included:
  • Beautiful woodworking projects
  • Social Studies timelines on important historical events
  • Art pottery, sculptures
  • Spanish calendars
  • Paintings
  • Beautifully written essays on books students have read
These wonderful works are on display throughout the event.  The highlight of the evening is the recognition of students who receive awards for their outstanding work.  If you've been known to say things as, "Kids  these days!" or "I don't know what's happening to this generation" then you should attend one of these events.  It will show  you what is up with our kids these days: they are smart, hard working, responsible, and a bright shining star for our future.

Enjoy these photos of some of the work displayed for this evening.
