Students from Boundary, Gallman, Newberry, and Reuben elementary schools and Newberry Academy were recognized April 16 at the Newberry Opera House as part of the City of Newberry’s annual Academic All-Star Night.
Each student was recognized on stage with a certificate and was also presented with an ice cream treat from Laila’s Place prior to the program.
Academic All-Stars were chosen by their elementary school for having been on the honor roll most or all of the academic year. Students in third, fourth and fifth grades were recognized by Mayor Foster Senn and City Councilman Lemont Glasgow.
“We want to congratulate you on your accomplishments this year,” Senn told students. “Your teacher said you learned enough in reading, writing, math, science, history and all your work to be one of the top students in your class and in your school. You are a City of Newberry Academic All-Star, congratulations.”
Glasgow encouraged the students to keep going and to dream big.
“Being on the honor roll means you’re learning and you’re working,” Glasgow said. “If you keep doing that, and I know you will, you will get to be an adult and have a bunch of opportunities.”
Glasgow named many of the opportunities the students could choose to do in the future including becoming doctors, veterinarians, software developers, school principals, airline pilots, inventors, or maybe even the President of the United States.
“I encourage you to keep working hard in school and to dream big about your future,” he said.
Senn reminded students to thank their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and others for helping them along the way and their teachers and principals for being keys to their success. He thanked the Newberry Opera House, Laila’s Place and city staff for making the event a success.
