Five graduate at Cardwell School

Five eighth grade graduates took their places on the platform at the Cardwell Gym to be honored for the completion of nine years of learning.

The graduating students were Katie Whitehurst, Marta Nelson, Anna Nelson, Wyatt Biggers and Brodie Becker.

Wyatt Biggers was the only one of the five that was a student at Cardwell all nine years. Mrs. Coombe and Mrs. Simon, both instructors at the school had an "Only at Cardwell School" speech. Very entertaining and very true.

Two quips that stood (to me) were "Only at Cardwell does an 8th grade graduate play basketball with a kindergarten student."

And, "Where else can you escape disasters in the school by a huge 'tube' to slide down?" Wyatt Biggers and Katie Whitehurst gave their valedictorian speeches.

The ceremony ended with diplomas presented by new Board member, Dawn Lewton and Chairman, Trent Biggers.

The graduates greeted the crowd at individual tables with memorabilia telling their stories.
