| Nancy StrickerRODEONan@bbc.net | May 26, 2006 | As a mom of a Senior I must say that it was a nice ceremony and a beautiful day ^_^ A little warm inside the gym, but not bad. We have some great kids here and I'm proud to call myself an 'H.H.S. Mom' I loved Mr. Ningens' wanting to know what 'That guy had to eat'...he wants some of that for breakfast The faculty should be proud of themselves for being a huge and positive influence on these kids...you all did a great job! From a very thankful and very proud seniors' mom! Peace! Nancy S. |

Jerry Schock Campbell, CAMechanical Designer | May 11, 2010 | My feedback is a little late, but I was happy that Lynn Weldon was finally honored for all the time and extra effort that she has put into the school and the students. Being her son, I know how much work she puts into it and how much she cares about all the kids she sees everyday. She always makes that extra effort, even coming in early after breaking bones slipping on icy gym stairs. I'm proud of her and I'm glad that other people feel that way too. |
