San Tai Zhong Xue, 100 Years
November 20th, 2005Honored guests, fellow teachers, returning alumni and current students.
The occasion that draws us here today is indeed a great one and I feel honored and proud to have an opportunity to speak to you. Indeed, what a wonderful and exciting time to be at Santai Middle School.
Honored guests have an opportunity to see what a special and wonderful school we have.
Fellow teachers get to show with pride the fruits of their labor and the wonderful school and community in which they work and live.
Returning alumni can look back fondly at the school they enjoyed and see how it has grown and swelled with even more opportunities.
Current students, now is your time to enjoy with great pride the attention that your school is receiving. To take that pride and to keep it with you as you continue to work as hard as you can to make those you love proud and to capitalize on the opportunities that your future holds for you. It is a very exciting time to be a student. The future is bright and you can make so much of yourself and make so many proud, most importantly, yourself.
Anniversaries are a time of great joy. A time to look with fondness and pride at the time preceding and a time to look to the future with great optimism and enthusiasm.
As for me, I am truly honored and thrilled to be a part of this school and this community. Thank you, Santai Middle School.
That is what I was going to say. I was asked to speak and then there wasn’t time. The ceremony was pretty amazing with many guests and even a full sized hot air balloon. The school has been cleaned up and decorated beautifully.
The evening festivities featured a talent show by the students and teachers alike. Many of the students had been practicing for weeks and they were not about to let something like a freezing rain keep them from showing their talents. Good times.
