Cycle 1 Honor Roll Ceremony

The Honor Roll and Achievement Ceremony

Reported by Kaylah C. and D’Maya R.

There were many things that happened at the Honor Roll and Achievement Ceremony that took place on December 14^th, 2011. The parents and guardians of the students and students that achieved High Honor Roll, Honor Roll, Achievement Roll, and Honorable Mention were invited to participate in a breakfast coordinated by Ms. Battle in the school’s cafeteria.

The cafeteria’s decoration was pretty, and the decoration included candy canes and red tablecloth.  The ceremony began with Mr. Stallings, principal of Sojourner Truth Middle School, welcoming parents, guardians, and students and commending students for their hard work. He also encouraged students to continue to do well so that he could see them during the second cycle’s Honor’s celebration.

Afterwards, Mr. Stallings and Mr. Santoro, assistant principal of Sojourner Truth Middle School, personally awarded students with High Honor Roll, Honor Roll, Achievement Roll, and Honorable Mention certificates accordingly.  The recipients received certificates that had their names written in big bolded letters. 

After every student received his or her award, administrators, the parents, the guardians, and the students continued the celebration with a delicious breakfast that included eggs, grits, bacon, bread, waffles, and grape and apple juice.  Everyone had a great time, including Samiyah from HB 686, who said, “It was amazing,” when asked what she thought of the ceremony.  She especially enjoyed it when the students were receiving their certificates.

Once the ceremony and breakfast were over, students brought their families to their classes and introduced them to their teachers and friends. 

The ceremony was fun. We were happy to be a part of the Honors Celebration and will work hard to make sure that we can be a part of the ceremony for Cycle II.
