After the crowded hallways thinned out, Senior Max Graf began the 2013-14 awards assembly at 7:50 with a short speech, detailing how “we have grown both as individuals and as a school…” Dr. Lockette’s remarks followed, highlighting how “education truly is a community effort…this is truly an incredible community.” Cheers greeted his brief post-script, as he said, “one more thing…weather forecast says 79 and sunny, so I think we’re going outside [for graduation ceremonies tomorrow].”
The first awards were presented by the Avonworth Fund for Educational Excellence, funding over 16 awards in total this year, and represented by Ms. Merle Culley, who stated “I’ve been away for 5 years, but my heart is always here…that’s how important this community is for us.” Ms. Jane Angelini also presented some of the initial awards for the AFEE, as the school recognized achievements by student artists, athletes, and academics for over two hours.
