Acknowledgement for the Acknowledgers

At today's yearbook assembly, two representatives of the 8th grade class read this year's acknowledgement to the whole school:

We, the yearbook staff, would like to present this acknowledgement to a group of hard-working people. They are an integral part of the school, always putting others before themselves and providing service with a smile. They arrive at EFS early each morning to prepare for the day ahead, and throughout it all, they seem to never stop working. They enjoy their jobs, and it shows in the way they put extra care into everything they do. This year especially, they have offered many new ideas and new choices. They are very special to EFS, and we are all very happy that we have them here. They deserve an extra big helping of appreciation. We, the 8th grade class of 2011, are extremely proud to acknowledge the kitchen staff: Chef Jeff, Mike, and the lunch ladies.

Sometimes an acknowledgement says as much about those who offer it as those who receive it. Congratulations to our kitchen staff for being recognized for their commitment to our students. Congratulations to the 8th grade class for living up to our expectations and recognizing what it means to be leaders in our school community.
