STRIVE CELEBRATION - MAY 3, 2016
Jay Simpson welcomed everyone to the annual celebration for the Strive Mentors and Students including the school board members present.  He thanked the Rotary AM and Noon clubs for their support and volunteers from the community, the school officials and staff and especially the students.  Jay introduced Dr. Curt Tryggestad (school superintendent) who also thanked school board members present, mentors and commended students for stepping forward and joining the program.
Candise Fountain provided the student reflection and thanked the Rotary Clubs for supporting the program and providing the motivation for the students.  She told the students that they are all artists and their lives are their canvases and only they can paint their lives.
Karen Brettingen thanked her colleagues and Rotary clubs and mentors.  Karen then introduced the mentors and students present and each of the mentors said a few words about the students.  There were forty-five students in the program (twenty-two seniors, twenty-three juniors).
