Mrs. Daphne Maxwell, USD 475 Board of Education President, was our keynote speaker. Aaron, 4^th grade student, was inspired by Mrs. Maxwell’s strong words. Antonio, 2^nd grade student, said “I liked the cheer from Mrs. Maxwell”.

On Thursday, November 15, 2007, we celebrated our Blue Ribbon Award with a special ceremony at Morris Hill Elementary. Our hosts were Sierra and Alex. They shined in their ability to lead the ceremony and introduce our distinguished guests.

Mr. Lumb had three challenges
for the teachers and students:

1. Enjoy the work.

2. Accept the challenge.

3. Appreciate the results.

We had three musical performances. The FRMS String Orchestra performed prelude music and featured Yankee Doodle. Everyone was invited to sing “Blue Ribbon Song” written especially for this occasion by Mrs. Kathy Maxwell and Mrs. Kelly Ballard. Lastly, the 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th grade students performed “Michael (Row the Boat Ashore)”, a feature from their concert.
