You've Won!

Hello my trusty Grade 7's!

I thought I would do something a little different this week:

Pretend you are winning an award for doing outstanding work at school (congratulations by the way!).  Write an acceptance speech thanking everyone who helped you be a good student.  Don't forget to add in some advice for future students on what it takes to be successful.  Your acceptance speech should be approximately one paragraph long.

To get an idea of what an acceptance speech could look like - view the video below.




Remember the rules for posting information to the web:

NEVER post any personal information and use only first names please. 
-  Put the question in your answer and always write using full sentences.
- Proofread your work (watch your spelling and grammar) before you post it.
- Keep it appropriate for school.
- Have fun and be creative!


I'm looking forward to reading your answers!

Mr. Boettger  :-)

    Thank you, thank you. It is hard to win an award this outstanding, I am so glad you have decided to nominate me to win this award. The math award is hard you need to work hard, study hard and pay attention in class. Oh I almost forgot you also have good grades. To the future grade eights never give up, if you are one of the ones who is like me, and wants to win the math award work hard and make sure you always try your best. Good luck to the future grade eights and thank you to my wonderful teacher Mr.Boettger for helping me achieve my goal.

    Today I have been give the privilege to accept the award of outstanding school work. I would like to thank all my fellow students and my teachers for helping me through out all my years at Wyevale school. If I hadn't met these wonderful people I would not be the person I am today. For all throws people who have been having hard times with there school work or even with people bugging you about be smart, not so smart, or bugging you. I just want to say even though it is hard never give up. I know it maybe hard to just stay in school or even just trying to get through the day because remember your just there to get a great education and you'll make friends along the way and you may loses some. But really is it that your willing to make a change so big that it could change your life!

  15. Logan: Thank you for giving me this award today for outstanding work in my class. Thank you to my classmates for nominating me and my teacher for being such a good teacher. For future students, I would give them this advice. First of all, always try your hardest in everything you do. Next, try to stay organized. Finally, read and practise everything that you can at home.

    Today I have been given a privilege of holding this award and thanking many people for helping me reach this point in my life. I would like to start by thanking everyone at H.C.E.S. and Wyevale Central for helping me with my school work. Also I can thanking my mom, dad and grandma for supporting me at home and encouraging me to try it even if it was frustrating, same for my teacher. Finally I would like to thank my friends for helping me through all the times I needed help. Some advice for future students would be to try your very hardest every day and have fun, Thank You All!!
