We have officially stepped into the fall season, and at Cassels Garage we couldn’t be happier. The school year is in full swing and now is the perfect time to start planning some family outings. Brevard County is full of school spirit as the football season is underway, cheer and dance practices are off to a high-kick, and the school band is in tune with all the hits to keep you grooving. There is so much going on this fall season, so we thought we might give you some ideas of things you might enjoy. Football Games Nothing says fall and school spirit like attending your local football games. This is a great way to see your friends and community outside of the classroom setting. Grab a hotdog from the concession stands and enjoy watching your
fellow classmates compete for the big win. And to all the parents out there, this is an awesome and budget friendly activity for the whole family. These Friday night-lights offer kids a safe and family friendly environment to cheer on their local school, while also bonding with their friends in the stands. Pumpkin Patch It wouldn’t be fall without a visit to your favorite pumpkin patch. People go pumpkin crazy this time of year, so we recommend you join the fun. Plan a weekend trip for the whole family to your favorite patch. Enjoy sipping apple cider while the little ones run around looking for their perfect pumpkin. You will leave with happy kids and a cute decoration for your home. It is a win-win situation. Movie Night A good old-fashioned movie night is a great way to celebrate the fall season. Rent your favorite Halloween movies, pop some popcorn, and enjoy. Have the kids invite their friends over for a fall or Halloween movie night. If you are feeling festive, make it into a sleepover. Your kids will be thrilled and you will be happy knowing they are at home having a great time. Whether you are car pooling to the local Friday night football game, packing up the car, heading towards the pumpkin patch, or just running out to pick up some movies for a movie night, we at Cassels Garage want to get you there safely. Stop by today to get your car ready for the fall season today.
...t their tickets in advance and get pumped to have a good time. My recommendations for tailgating would be all in the advertisement, CCU could make flyers that advertise for people to come out and tailgate before the games. Also regarding tailgating, advertise at local restaurants that they will be attending our tailgates, or even bring in more restaurants and local food places to come to the game and sell their food. There’s nothing wrong with having more food available at tailgates. My recommendations for the fan aspect of games and tailgates would be to do more fun things for the reserved tailgating they seem to be more on their own than anything, whereas if CCU put games or food by them it could make it more fun. Also, for fans CCU could make it rewarding and if they came to a certain amount of home games they could win a free Coastal football shirt or something.
Going to a Carolina Panthers football game and it was great! I used sight, hearing, smelling, feeling, and tasting when I went. Out of all the NFL games I have been to, this was by far my favorite. There was so much to do when I went there. We were walking to the Carolina Panthers stadium and we were a couple blocks away.
My fellow classmen, as we look back on our years here at school we should remember the meaningful words of a fellow class member of mine when she said, "Dude, where's my iPod?" It's hard for me to think of a better way to describe the many layers of adolescence, because deep down aren?t we all "dudes?" Do we not all have our inner "iPods", and are we not constantly searching for them? Now, we're leaving our childhood behind to study the vast sphere we call planet Earth, into the notorious world of high school, where things will be so much different. Of course we will still have our varied studies, Geometry, Biology, maybe even Forensics or an Accelerated English class here and there. We will still struggle with the daily setbacks formed by peers and strict teachers and principals. But so much of our lives will change. The cars in the parking lot will be driven by, well, students. Our male friends will grow a little fuzzy around the face, and of course, our day will most likely begin with a bell that actually works.
Growing up my parents always taught my sister and I that we should always be grateful for what we had. Take care of all our toys and expensive things that they brought us. They taught us that you have to work hard for what you want and nothing is handed to you. Even though me and my sister always got what wanted we also knew that we worked for it and that made getting it even better. I believe my parents raised me pretty good. I always respected them and knew my limits, me and my sister had chores we had to do and if they weren't done by the end of the week we would have a consequence. This taught us responsibility and that in the real world if you don't do your job you would be fired or there would be a consequence you would have to pay. Lately I have noticed that a lot of kids in today's society are very ungrateful. They feel entitled and believe that they shouldn't have to work for anything. They think things should just be handed to them without any questions asked. I think I have a way to stop this rising trait in today's youth.
I am honored to be recognized as one of the students to be considered for the National Junior Honor Society. I believe that this organization has done great things for the community and I would like to help in doing so. It has been my goal all year to become National Junior Honor Society member, and now I am granted the chance to achieve my yearlong goal.
To the County High School Class of 2012: As you sit in front of me, I know what most of you are thinking at the moment. There are those who are already pondering about what life without high school will be like; those who are debating whether or not to tell your crush tonight about your whispers of adoration you’ve secretly held for four years; some simply want to get out of that ungodly chair, get that thing that isn’t really a diploma but only tells you when to pick up the thing, and then be the first one on the green bus to the grad party — you know who you are. And the rest, well, the rest aren’t even paying attention, you’re thinking, “Great, here comes one of the valedictorian speakers. Next up: a boring speech straight out of the pits of scholarly hell.” And it’s OK, I don’t mind — that sort of thing comes with the territory. But tonight, I ask that you give me a chance to break that stereotype so that I may address you in the full splendor that you deserve after 13 grueling years of work. I do not want to be known as your “valedictorian” as I stand here, c’mon guys, there is no time left to place labels on people anymore, instead I ask that you accept me as one of your peers — and as a man who will enjoy becoming a graduate alongside you.
Good evening. Some of you out there may not realize this but those of you who attended Suntime Middle School have been with this guy for the last seven years. I would like to ask you all, not just Suntime Middle School grads and who all else, to join me in thanking Mr. Weather for his patience and dedication to the success of our education over the years. We are the Class of 2000. The first graduating class of the new millennium. The past four years have been pretty wild. We started out as a bunch of rats in a small cage, but as time went by we learned and matured and became big rats in a new small cage, but in any case, the cage door is now opening; the handlers turning us wild things loose. As we leave "Where the Wild Things Are," home to some of the best cat fights, fist fights and food fights this side of the Cascades, I have a little surprise for all of you sitting in front of me here tonight in your caps and gowns … we ain’t seen nothing yet!
I am honored to be considered for National honor society and believe I would make a good and active member of this organization. Throughout high school, I have not been very involved in school activities, although I regret that I did not start sooner, I believe that National Honor Society is not only a very high achievement, but it also matches my beliefs and is something that I would like to participate in. Not only would I like to get more involved in the High School community, but also in the community as a whole. NHS provides this opportunity through community service and projects that require cooperation with my peers.
Will you be who you were meant to be, or will you be who everyone wants you to be. It is up to you to decide your destination, but it is the events along the way that shape the final outcome. As we sit here at graduation, having suffered and prospered through four years at County High School, it is hard to forget the memories we've shared. At the same time, it is easy to see how the past four years have shaped who we are today and impacted our future forever.
Well guys, we've made it. We've made it through four years of one of the most highly involved times in our lives. We've seen all, we've done all, and at this point in the year, most of us have probably had enough of it all. If you think about it, four school years is really a long time. four years of high school is equal to 720 school days, 4,320 class periods, and if you're a busy guy like me and you tend to count things by the minute, then it might surprise you to know that we've been in class for about 237,600 minutes. Class of 2006- are you ready to graduate?
It is probably a mistake that I am standing here giving a speech for graduation. In fact it is probably a mistake that I am even graduating from this school at all -- believe me, just as most people in this class I have tested the limits of attendance, of sleeplessness, and of procrastination. At the beginning of my high schooling, I was even testing dropping out ... and if that wasn't a mistake, I don't know what was. After four years of Starr altering our minds, it seemed most fitting for me to spend my four minutes talking about mistakes. Thank goodness for them, by the way -- it is only when we truly screw up big time that we are ever stopped in our tracks -- stopped, briefly, to learn lessons of worth.
Congratulations everyone, congratulations. If you're participating in this graduation ceremony, you've taken the next step toward your future goals and dreams. For those of you that just finished your transfer degrees, congratulations. To those of you that came back to school after a few years off to get a better education, congratulations. To those of you that came to get a certificate or learn IT or computer programming so you can get a better job, congratulations.
There are so many reasons to support this school bond, including the list of critical repairs or improvements it will make to our insufficient facilities. If these problems were occurring in our own homes most of us would say, “We need to fix this!” Why should we then accept it in our schools?
Wow, it's already that time. All the high schools have pretty much ended they're years. Next up is us (8th graders). It's time for us to move on to be a freshmen at whatever high school that decided to let us in.
Valedictorian Speech Good evening fellow graduates, teachers, family members, friends, and distinguished guests. It is a tremendous honor to be the valedictorian of our graduating class. My job is to somehow be the voice of the entire graduating class, and take five minutes to say a few words on behalf of all 539 of us. Like most valedictorians, writing this speech was not an easy task for me. Not because I did not have anything to say, but because I was overwhelmed by how much I wanted to share with you all on this day. Tonight, we have one common purpose, to celebrate. We are here to congratulate, to look towards what the future holds for us, to wish each other well, and to, most importantly look back on our time spent here. So, I would like to start by saying 'well done' to my fellow graduates, who have all worked hard during the past several years to reach this milestone. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the graduating class for selecting me to speak here tonight. Ever since the news broke, many people, some who've I've never really met before, have come up to me and have wished me well. Perhaps this speech would be incomplete if I don’t say something to the teachers. On the behalf of my entire class, I would like to thank all my teachers: thank you. Thank you for teaching us, for leading us, for building us up as adults. I know that we have not given back to you the respect you deserve. I know that we have not told you how much we appreciate you taking time out of your schedules to help us. And I know that we have not said thank you for giving us a wonderful education. So, I hope that as I say thanks, you can forget our shortcomings and remember us for who we are and not from the mistakes we have made. ...
