Families gathered in the Sgt. Brian Walker Memorial gymnasium on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 to watch as their children, some 82 strong, were promoted from Lucerne Valley Elementary School’s 6th-grade.
Principal Mrs. Joanna Mora welcomed the attendees and talked about the class of promise and unique talents who now become the high school class of 2029. “This class has had a great year,” said Mrs. Mora. “Have confidence in your abilities and treat others with respect. Your actions can make a positive difference.”
Sixth-grade teachers Mrs. Hankins, Mrs. Klinger, Ms. Lopez and Mrs. Tardibuono presented the promotion certificates to cheers and applause.
Students Aurora Berletich and Brody Curtis were selected to give student speeches.
In closing, longtime LVES teacher Mrs. Kay Hall presented the Eagles SOAR Presentation.
“I see the dreamers, scholars, and athletes,” Mrs. Kay Hall said. “I see teachers and homemakers, and scientists and bankers and doctors. I see aunts and uncles. I see much more.” She talked about how together the students got the “second worst pandemic our country has ever suffered through.” She affirmed their ability to move forward and find successful, happy lives.
