Dear Sharpsville Educational Community:
The sounds of birds chirping, the first appearance of the daffodils, extended daylight, and the sounds of baseballs and softballs hitting the aluminum and leather, and the sight of runners and throwers on the track can only mean that Spring has arrived. Spring also means time for concerts, state assessments, honor society inductions, recognition programs, Prom, baseball, softball, track and field, Kindergarten graduation, 8th grade recognition and graduation and most importantly graduation for the Class of 2024. Graduation is scheduled for Friday Night May 31st at 8:00 PM at The Pines. Nothing beats a Friday night at The Pines. Graduation is the crown jewel for us as educators.
I want to thank the Class Officers for the Class of 2024:
President- Julia McConahy/Vice President - Joshua Myers/ Secretary - Ava Combine/ Treasurer - Bella Buell. Great job. You have been resilient, determined, organized, patient, and an absolute pleasure to work with. As a collective class, luck has not always been on your side. Together you have mastered how to handle adversity, developed a sense of resiliency, and the crucial element of problem solving.
As we head into the stretch run I want to remind all students to finish the school year strong. It is not how one starts things that people remember; but rather how one finishes things.
In closing I would like to share some Steps to Success:
- Find what you love and do it
- Learn how to balance life
- Do not fear failure
- Have the will to succeed
- Be a person of action
- Avoid conflict
- Do not be afraid of trying something new and to think outside of the box
- Believe in yourself
- Have a positive attitude
- Hard work works
- You be you
- Hope….dream…believe…make it happen
I wish the Class of 2024 best of luck as they finish up their K-12 journey here in our district. Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. —Harriet Tubman
