Even the teachers at our school have modelled themselves themselves of this motto. The teacher that best reflects this motto be all that you can be, is someone who dedicates lots of time and effort into everything he does and cares about his students, he is every where, at meetings, running tournaments, setting setting up track meets and coaching teams, would you please help me in sincerely thanking Mr. Webster for everything he has done for this school and for us. Would ou please stand up and give im a big applause. THANK-YOU. There are three more teachers who I wish to give my deepest thanks.
