On Wednesday-11-June, the E. Roy Bixby School in Bogota held their Promotion Ceremony for the Class of 2025. This was held in the Bixby courtyard, under a blue and white balloon arch.
Ms. Leah Segovia led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance, and the National Anthem. First year Bixby Principal Ms. Priscilla Ortiz thanked the Faculty and Parents for welcoming her to her new job. She then talked about a game of football catch with some of the Students which set the tone of acceptance and respect for the rest of the year. Principal Ortiz congratulated the Students for their achievements in school. And asked the Students to carry the lessons they learned at Bixby as they move on to the next part of their Education.
Next, Superintendent Mr. Damian Kennedy talked about the Students years in Bixby and building the foundation of Academic and Personal success. Mr. Kennedy told the Students what changes await them at the Middle School. Along with new opportunities they can take part in, and the new additions to the High School. Then Mr. Kennedy recited a story about the two wolves that can live inside a person. One represents: Fear, Anger, Laziness and Jealousy. While the other stands for Love, Kindness, Hope, and Determination. A persons Strength, Confidence, and Success can be based on if the correct wolf is fed.
Then the Student Speakers addressed the audience. They were Mr. Mauricio Argueta, and Ms. Liliana Villalobos who talked about their experience at Bixby School. How the school may have seen to take a long-time doing schoolwork but balanced by the Friendship and memories that passed quickly. And all the activities they shared during their Fifth-Grade year.
They thanked Principal Ortiz along with the Teachers, and Staff at Bixby School. They also thanked their Parents and Families for supporting them. And wished their classmates the best in the upcoming future.
