Congratulations to Graduates 

• 1.5 Gallons of gas to get to graduation                 =        $4.93

• A black gown and a goofy looking square hat       =        $46.00

• A high school diploma                                          =        Priceless

At this time I confirm that the graduating class of 2007 has met the requirements set forth by the State of Missouri and theWillard R-II School District.

This was the start and finish to my speech this weekend at Graduation.  It is always a thrill to see a community and a school come together to support graduates.  I challenged the young men and women to “Live Life!”  It is so easy to settle for the mundane and boring.  We can settle in front of our T.V. or we can grab hold of life and absolutely choke the passion out of it.  A K-12 contention of approximately 135 teachers led the graduates onto the floor and accepted a round of applause in thanks to all they have done to help them succeed.  I wish each and every graduate great success and blessings as they enter into the next stage of “Living Life!”
